Airbnb is removing listings from illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and this is why it matters

The US firm said it had made the decision because settlements were at the "core of the dispute between Israelis and Palestinians".

The move has been welcomed by Palestinians but Israel has called it "shameful" and threatened legal action.

The West Bank settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
