Airbnb agrees to delist 200 settlement homes from Israel

Airbnb said on Tuesday that it would not implement the planned delisting of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, but added that the company would donate proceeds from such bookings to international humanitarian aid organisations.

Heeding calls from Palestinians who want the West Bank for a future state, Airbnb had said in November that it would remove the listings of around 200 settlement homes. That decision was deplored by Israel and challenged in some U.S. jurisdictions.
