CBRE brokers and workers from around the globe are expressing support for Israel in its current war with the Palestinian group Hamas, in response to a LinkedIn post from CBRE.
Last week, the Dallas-based brokerage's Israeli operation said in the post that it "stands shoulder to shoulder with the resilient residents of the South," near the border with Gaza. "Our hearts go out to the grieving families whose loved ones have been tragically massacred," CBRE Israel said in the post. "We hope and pray for a swift recovery for the injured and the safe return of those held in captivity, among them the children, elderly and families."
On Oct. 7, Hamas launched an assault on Israel. The attacks killed some 1,400 people and scores were reported to be abducted.
CBRE Israel's post resulted in several of its employees and others sharing it and posting messages of support. A CBRE employee in the United Kingdom, who said a member of one of his client's teams lives in Israel, said he hoped for a quick resolution.
Lorne Smart, a broker with Axxa in Montreal, applauded CBRE for standing up "for what is right." And Larry Genet, a CBRE broker in South Florida, said, "Please let me know how I can help 👊🏼🙏🏼."
