William Hague has welcomed the United Nations resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

The Shadow Foreign Secretary stressed, "A ceasefire, implemented by both sides, is the only solution which will preserve the Peace Process, protect Israel's security and allow action to be taken to address suffering in Gaza."

And he added, "It requires an end to Hamas rocket attacks against Israeli citizens, which are acts of terrorism, as well as an end to Israeli military operations. Work must now be done to bring this conflict to an urgent end."
