Settler leader slams Airbnb decision to remove listings in Israeli homes beyond Green Line
Efrat local council Chairman Oded Revivi pans Airbnb’s decision to remove its listings in Israeli settlements.
“It is disappointing to see the site surrender to extreme pressure, thereby damaging the essence of its existence as well as its uniqueness,” says Revivi, who also serves as the foreign envoy for the Yesha settlement umbrella council.
“The advantage of the site is its ability to bring people together for conversation and questions — and not just make money,” he continues in a statement.
“The decision does an injustice to Israelis living in Judea and Samaria, constitutes a surrender to extremists and is a mistake that distances peace.”
