June 10, 2025 - Lawyers of Global Legal Action Network announced legal action in three countries, the UK, USA and Ireland, against Airbnb and Booking.com, accusing them of laundering profits from rental listings in illegal Israeli settlements. A similar lawsuit is already underway in the Netherlands. [video]/[article]
Middle East Eye:
"It's not a big sacrifice".
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese tells Mohammed Hassan that she has closed her AirBnb and Booking.com accounts because of their complicity in the occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The two companies have been accused of allowing users to list properties in illegal settlements on their websites.
In an interview with The Big Picture Podcast, Albanese talks about a report she published exposing what she describes as "economy of genocide", highlighting more than 60 companies directly or indirectly working with Israel's military in Gaza and the West Bank. The companies include Google, Amazon, Barclays, Hyundai and Airbnb.
Following the release of the report, the Trump Administration placed the UN Special Rapporteur under US sanctions, accusing her of waging "economic warfare" against US companies.

I suspect for most of us, the travel sites and apps are the biggest thing to look out for, but I'd like to add that Booking.com also just got in trouble for using "junk fees" to charge their customers more.
