A HOLIDAY booking website will add safety and human rights warnings and the term “occupied” to its listing at illegal settlements in the West Bank, Palestine.
Booking.com said it will include the signs on all its properties owned by Israeli settlers on stolen Palestinian land, stating that “visiting the area may be accompanied by an increased risk to safety and human rights or other risks to the local community and visitors.”
The warning will include the word occupied and the company is considering extending the changes to properties in East Jerusalem.
“Our goal is to make it easier for every person to experience the world,” the travel company said in a statement.
“In accordance with this goal, we are attempting to ensure that our clients have the information needed in order to make decisions about destinations they wish to visit.”
Israeli Tourism Minister Yoel Razvozov said that the ministry will hold an urgent meeting following the decision.
“A business will not dictate to us what area is Israel and what area isn’t,” he said.
