Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) is delighted to announce the
appointment of Greg MP as its new Parliamentary Chair in
the House of Commons.
Greg has served as the Conservative MP for Mid Buckinghamshire
since his election in 2019 and brings a wealth of political and
business experience to the role. He is Shadow Minister for
Transport and Shadow Minister for the Department for Energy
Security and Net Zero.
Previously a Parliamentary Vice-Chair of CFI, Greg has been a
consistent and steadfast advocate of closer economic and security
ties between the UK and Israel. In the wake of the atrocities of
7th October 2023, he provided a strong voice in the House of
Commons in calling for the UK to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with
its ally Israel.
Earlier this month Greg led a delegation of MPs to Israel and the
West Bank to gain first-hand insights into the current security
situation and the implementation of the Gaza peace plan.
Before entering Parliament, Greg built a career in design and
marketing. He worked as a consultant in these fields, serving
clients across sectors including manufacturing, medical
technology and charities. He served as a Councillor on
Hammersmith and Fulham London Borough Council from 2006 to 2018,
where he held the position of Deputy Leader.
Greg MP, CFI Parliamentary Chairman (House
of Commons): “It is an honour to take on this important
role alongside my constituency and front-bench duties. The
UK-Israel partnership symbolises a shared commitment to
democracy, security and tolerance in a world where these values
are threatened like never before. I look forward to working
closely with the excellent CFI team.”
KC, Chairman of CFI Board of
Directors: “Greg has been a principled and intelligent
voice in support of the UK-Israel partnership ever since he
arrived in Parliament. His interventions over the Middle East
have brought balance and moral clarity to a Commons chamber
dominated by anti-Israel invective.”
Rt. Hon. The , CFI Parliamentary Chairman
(House of Lords): "Greg's energy and dedication to
strengthening UK-Israel ties make him the ideal choice to lead
CFI in the Commons. I look forward to working closely with him in
this important work."
CBE, CFI Honorary
President: "I am thrilled to see Greg take on this vital
role. His track record as a Vice-Chair and his unwavering support
for Israel will ensure CFI continues to thrive as a voice for
friendship and cooperation with Israel."
CFI was founded more than 50 years ago to educate and inform
Conservative politicians about Israel and the Middle East. It
promotes closer ties between the UK and Israel, and builds
friendships across the political spectrum in Israel.
