| has gloss | eng: Labour Friends of Israel is a UK Parliament-based lobby group promoting support within the British Labour Party for a strong bilateral relationship between Britain and Israel. It also seeks to strengthen ties between the British and the Israeli Labour party. Labour Friends of Israel supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Israel recognised and secure within its borders and the establishment of a viable Palestinian state. Jonathan Mendelsohn the former chairman of the LFI was quoted in the Jerusalem Post saying "Zionism is pervasive in New Labour. It is automatic that Blair will come to Labour Friends of Israel meetings." |
