Labour Friends of Israel director to step down in September - The Jewish Chronicle (original) (raw)

Labour Friends of Israel’s Jennifer Gerber has announced that she will be stepping down in September, after more than a decade as director.

Ms Gerber, who has led LFI since 2010, is to be replaced by political director Michael Rubin.

Under Ms Gerber the organisation adopted a new strategy to make the case for Israel within the Labour Party by relaunching itself as a membership body.

Ms Gerber said that it had been a “huge honour to lead LFI”, adding that she was “proud of what the LFI team achieved against an incredibly challenging backdrop”.
