The Middle East: one year on

Cumberland Lodge, out of focus and silhouetted against the sunset sky.

One year on from the horrific attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, our thoughts remain with everyone who is impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

We continue to support calls for immediate ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon, and for humanitarian aid to be provided to all who need it.

At Cumberland Lodge, we believe in the power of open dialogue to address social division and build more just and inclusive societies.

We repeat our call for all leaders to protect civilians as a matter of urgency, to prioritise talks that address the root causes of this conflict, and to work towards a lasting settlement.
