Jennifer Gerber was appointed director of Labour Friends of Israel in 2010, taking over from Luciana Berger in the role.
Previously Gerber was director of Progress and worked as a special adviser to Andy Burnham, the former Labour Health Secretary. 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]
