Airbnb, a vacation rental company, has announced that it is removing its listings from Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The company announced Monday that it would withdraw some 200 inscriptions in Israeli settlements "which are at the heart of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians".
Airbnb said that although it has operated in accordance with US law, it has long questioned whether to do business in Israeli settlements, which most members of the international community consider. as illegal. Palestinians and human rights groups have long called on society to remove these lists.
Airbnb said it would stop its operations in the occupied territory in the hope that a "framework will be put in place where the entire global community is aligned."
Israeli officials condemned the decision.
