Dugher has held the post of Vice-Chair of Labour Friends of Israel (LFI).{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/anger-grows-within-labour-over-forced-palestinian-vote-9788395.html|work=The Independent|title=Anger grows within Labour over forced Palestinian vote|date=10 October 2014|first=Oliver|last=Wright|access-date=22 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180415021611/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/anger-grows-within-labour-over-forced-palestinian-vote-9788395.html|archive-date=15 April 2018|url-status=live}} He has criticised the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, saying "Boycotting Israeli institutions is ignorant, wrong and counterproductive to peace.

Following the 2015 general election, Dugher said Labour mishandled its relationship with the Jewish community through a combination of neglect and incompetence.

He criticised Labour's response to the 2014 Gaza conflict and called the then Labour leader Ed Miliband's decision to whip Labour MPs to vote for a motion recognising the State of Palestine as "catastrophic". Dugher abstained in the parliament vote on this matter, despite a three line whip and being a shadow cabinet minister.{{cite news |url=http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/136876/labour-was-catastrophic-israel-says-shadow-cabinet-member-michael-dugher |title=Labour was 'catastrophic' on Israel, says shadow cabinet member Michael Dugher |first=Robert |last=Philpot |newspaper=Jewish Chronicle |date=27 May 2015 |access-date=23 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221105913/http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/136876/labour-was-catastrophic-israel-says-shadow-cabinet-member-michael-dugher |archive-date=21 February 2016 |url-status=live }}
