Pete Malynn

Pete Malynn is the executive director of Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East, an organization advocating for Palestinian rights within the Labour Party. He has been vocal in expressing dismay over the appointment of Lord Austin as trade envoy, arguing that it sends the wrong message regarding the UK government's priorities in the region and undermines its strategic direction. Malynn's concerns reflect a broader tension within the Labour Party regarding its position on Israel and Palestine, particularly amid ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises.
