A plea for understanding….

Last week, we shared a message on our newsletter sharing sympathy for all the innocent victims of the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Since sharing this and hearing member feedback, we wish to make clear that this was a humanitarian message with no political overtures.

At IR Global, we believe all lives should be valued equally, that human rights respected, and we denounce all violations of international law. We consider every life lost one too many, and we are in mourning for all the innocent Israeli, Palestinian and the people of other nationalities, whose lives have been damaged or cut short . This loss of innocent life is incomprehensible, and we pray for peace.

For all our members in the region, we want to recognise the pain and emotional toll this is taking on you. We cannot begin to grasp the gravity of feelings and generational trauma involved.

And to remind everyone that IR Global is home to people of many religions, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds. However, what binds us together is our humanity. Even when we see things differently, let us recognise the other and try and find common ground.We will not be making any further statements and would appreciate your understanding.
