NSW Parliamentary Friends of Israel

The largest friendship group in the NSW State Parliament and serves as a formal conduit between the parliament, Israel and the Jewish community.

It co-hosts briefings by visiting dignitaries, members of the Israeli Parliament, journalists and analysts who contribute to greater understanding of Israel, the region and its challenges. It works with the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and is instrumental in assisting with MP study tours to Israel.

Scott Farlow MLC is the current Chair of the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Israel and Walt Secord MLC is Deputy Chair.

Prior to COVID, the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Israel co-hosted, with the Board of Deputies and the Embassy of Israel, the BEYOND DUTY photographic exhibition at the Fountain Court of NSW Parliament House.

We look forward to hosting more exhibits when COVID restrictions are lifted.
