After Suspending Ban on Settlements, Airbnb VP Tours West Bank
(Ha'aretz) Noa Landau - A day after Airbnb announced that it has suspended the implementation of its prior decision to remove listings in Jewish settlements in the West Bank, company Vice President Chris Lehane was hosted in the West Bank by Samaria Council head Yossi Dagan. Dagan said Lehane was "very impressed by the coexistence between Jews and Palestinians at the Barkan Industrial Park," the site of a deadly attack that claimed the lives of two Israeli workers shot to death by a Palestinian worker in October. After Lehane met with Tourism Minister Yariv Levin on Monday, Airbnb announced: "Our policy will not be implemented. The company will continue its dialogue with the Israeli government."
