About Us

Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East (LFPME) is a voluntary group within the Labour movement that campaigns for peace and justice in the Middle East through the implementation of international law and respect for human rights.

Achieving justice for the Palestinians remains one of the most pressing international issues of our time. LFPME supports a viable two state solution that delivers justice and freedom for the Palestinian people as called for by the overwhelming international consensus and enshrined under international law and in UN resolutions. 

Our work supports and complements the humanitarian effort for Palestine by raising the key issues, detrimental to realisation of peace in the Middle East, within the UK parliament and with our partners in the EU. To help raise awareness of the situation in Palestine we participate in political conferences, undertake speaking engagements, produce briefings and promotional material, campaign on key issues, host cultural events, and organise delegations for parliamentarians to witness the reality of the situation on the ground.
