Oded Ravivi, who heads the foreign-relations department of the Yesha Council of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, has expressed deep disappointment over Airbnb's decision not to publish apartments in the communities.
The head of the Efrat council said, "It is disappointing to see that because of extreme pressure, the site surrenders and damages the essence of its existence and uniqueness. The advantage of the site was the ability to bring people together, to cause conversation and [raise] questions and not only to make money. The decision does an injustice to the settlers, constitutes submission to extremists and will turn out to be a mistake and distancing peace."
