"I briefed the Airbnb team on tourism activities throughout the Shomron Regional Council.

"I said during the tour to Airbnb that I'm happy about the dialogue they're conducting with the Israeli government and I expect them to retract the decision they made and to act in Judea and Samaria just as they operate in the entire State of Israel.

"I was pleased to hear that they opposed the boycott movement. We also agreed that they would consider my request and the dialogue would continue. We'll continue to work for Samaria and against BDS on all levels," Dagan said.
