Tobias Ellwood has been appointed as the new Middle East Minister at the Foreign Office in David Cameron’s government reshuffle.
Mr Ellwood’s promotion was one of the last to be announced and came after former minister Hugh Robertson resigned.
The MP for Bournemouth East arrives in the midst of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Mr Ellwood is a former soldier with experience of serving in the Middle East. He has regularly visited Israel and the Palestinian territories on parliamentary delegations.
