UKLFI Charitable Trust is very proud to report that its Legal Director, Natasha Hausdorff, has received the 2025 Moral Courage Award of the American Jewish Committee (AJC).

The award honours individuals who stand up for what is right, even in the face of strong and vocal opposition. Previous recipients have included historian, Professor Deborah Lipstadt, former US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, and Iranian women’s rights activist, Masih Alinejad.

Presenting the award, Allison Ross said:

“Steadfast and fearless, Natasha Hausdorff is on the front lines of the war against Israel – the 8th front – and she is valiantly leading the fight against the weaponization of international law and institutions which target Israel in an effort to demonize, delegitimize and restrain Israel from protecting herself.

A British barrister and an International Law expert, much of Natasha’s fight has been carried out in her role as the Legal Director of UK Lawyers for Israel Charitable Trust.

She wields her expertise to shine a bright light on attempts to rewrite the rulebook on International Law, through which rights and laws have been taken over, and through which modern day blood libels are being advanced. ….

Natasha’s powerful and articulate voice, her indomitable spirit and relentless focus, her unwavering dedication and bold approach – making Israel’s case and dismantling the arguments against the Jewish state on the international stage, are more important than ever.

For these reasons, and many more, on behalf of AJC and the Women’s Leadership Board, I am honoured to present the 2025 Moral Courage Award to Natasha Hausdorff.”

The AJC is a leading American Jewish organisation founded in 1906, and has a distinguished history of supporting civil rights, human rights and social equality, and fighting discrimination against Jews and other minorities.

Natasha Hausdorff said: “Standing up for the truth about international law and Israel is an honour in itself, but I am extremely touched by this award and these kind words. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me in these efforts to counter the false information and distortion of international law, especially the wonderful lawyers at UKLFI”.

Jonathan Turner, Executive Director of UKLFI Charitable Trust, said: “Natasha has made an extraordinary contribution rebutting the tsunami of false information regarding Israel and the Jewish people that threatens to overwhelm us. We are delighted that her efforts have received this recognition from such a prestigious organisation.”
