Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has praised US President Donald Trump's leadership in the Gaza peace talks, claiming the deal "would not have happened" without him.
On Wednesday, Trump announced Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of his 20-point peace plan, in a major step towards a permanent end to their war.
It comes two years and two days after the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others taken hostage.
Sir Keir said the UK "played an important part behind the scenes" and had seen Trump's efforts on securing "a real breakthrough" in the negotiations.
Asked whether Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, Sir Keir said the agreement "would not have happened without President Trump's leadership".
Speaking at a press conference on a visit to Mumbai, he added: "I want to be really clear about that and I say that from the informed position of the UK having played a part behind the scenes in this with the US and with the mediators."
The UK now "stands ready to play our part in implementing this, again with others, as we go forward," he said.
When asked about ex-Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair potentially joining the "Board of Peace", scheduled to take over the running of Gaza from Hamas under the deal, Sir Keir said he was not interested in "discussions of personnel".
"What matters now is to press on and implement this," he told reporters.
In a statement earlier, Sir Keir welcomed news of the deal as "a moment of profound relief that will be felt all around the world".

Smart girl glasses. She must be smart.
All this praise from the left has me Leary. Someone, somewhere, is preparing to stab Trump and Netenyahu in the back and sabotage any ceasefire with those third world barbarians.
The good ol’ days when we could laugh at things.
Has GWB made any statement about Trump’s progress in reaching a Peace Agreement in the Middle East?
But then, I imagine he would be far too busy painting his portraits and talking about events from 40 years ago, with his brother Jeb! Karl Rove and Condi Rice will probably be the only ones from that administration with enough courtesy to acknowledge what’s now happening.
Do you think Trump has any great interest in seeing Palestinian lifers set loose?
Do you think Trump uses the European date format?
Some HAMAS guy is going to win a prize for the plan. I say the guy lives in Qatar.
I believe Trump wants peace and can get it. AND is the only man to organize it. When the DNc media whores say anything positive about Trump they are planning knife in the back. The press are dirty stinky whores and I don’t for a second believe any praise is genuine. The stinky press whores will be happy to see every Jew murdered to make Trump seem bad.
I am leery is all. And justifiably so.
God chose Trump to do exactly what he’s doing.
When God has your back, it makes no difference what others think, say or do.
It’s driving satan’s humans crazy because they don’t know why Trump and his administration are having success.
