Jennifer Gerber
Jennifer Gerber was appointed director of Labour Friends of Israel in August 2010, taking over the role from Luciana Berger, when she was elected a Labour MP.
The Jewish Chronicle reported on her appointment:
- Ms Gerber said: 'As Labour develops its foreign policy in opposition, LFI has a crucial role to play in ensuring that the party's decision makers appreciate the complexity of the situation in the Middle East.
- "This is a challenging time for both Israel advocacy and the Labour Party, and I look forward to working with our longstanding supporters, and building relationships with the new intake of MPs.'
- She said LFI would take MPs to Israel 'so they can see the reality on the ground for themselves'.[1]
Gerber is paid by Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) 'to assist John Woodcock MP in his role as chair of the LFI'.[2]
Previously Gerber was director of the New Labour pressure group Progress and worked as a special adviser to Andy Burnham, the former Labour Health Secretary.
