Airbnb reverses decision to delist Israeli settlements, opts to donate profits to rights groups instead as a compromise
A view shows the Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba as a Palestinian house is seen in Hebron, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank April 7, 2019.
Announcing a resolution of lawsuits brought against it, Airbnb said it "will not move forward with implementing the removal of listings in the West Bank from the platform." "Airbnb’s disappointing decision appears to reverse their stance to fully respect rights," Human Rights Watch said in a statement. "By continuing to do business in settlements, they remain complicit in the abuses settlements trigger."
