Liberal DemocratFriends of Palestine

The Liberal Democrat Friends of Palestine (LDFP) is an Affiliated Organisation within the Liberal Democrats. 

We support Palestinians in their demands for peace, justice, accountability and self-determination under international law. We call on all Lib Dem party members to back this objective, and we actively lobby for it within Parliament and in the wider political sphere.

What we stand for

We believe the Palestinian people have the right to live in an independent state of Palestine, just as the Israeli people have the right to live in the independent state of Israel, both based on the 1967 borders.

To achieve that, both states must have security and Israel must end its illegal occupation of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and Gaza.

What We Do

LDFP works closely with Liberal Democrat parliamentarians and members to inform, advise and engage them on issues relating to Palestine and Israel.

Through briefings, events, newsletters, and strategic engagement with MPs and peers, we help inform debate within the party and support action in Parliament. At party conferences, we hold fringe events, receptions and stalls, and have helped draft and support conference motions on Palestine.
