Peace Now lauds Airbnb decision to drop listings in Israeli settlements
The Peace Now settlement watchdog lauds the decision by Airbnb to drop its listings in Israeli homes beyond the Green Line.
“Even if the Green Line is invisible to Netanyahu and Bennett, the rest of the world distinguishes between sovereign Israel and the occupied territories,” the left-wing NGO says.
“International companies are interested in doing business with the State of Israel, but are unwilling to accept the continued military control of millions of Palestinians.”
“If the government really wants to eliminate BDS — then it will end the occupation,” the group’s statement concludes.
