Dentons has removed and replaced its response to the conflict in Israel and Palestine, after stating that it did not intend the post “to be used as a platform for incendiary discourse”.

Two days after Hamas’ attack, the firm posted a statement to LinkedIn which read: “We are shocked and saddened at the horrific atrocities taking place against innocent civilians, including murder and kidnappings of women and children, in Israel. Our global community stands with those affected and wishes for peace in the region and throughout the world.”
