Ireland: Court rules against police on Airbnb West Bank investigation

Source: The New Arab [UK]

“Ireland’s High Court on Thursday struck down a decision by the Irish police not to investigate the legality of Airbnb operations in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, rejecting the argument that it did not have jurisdiction. The ruling does not automatically trigger an investigation by police in Ireland, where Airbnb has its Europe and Middle East headquarters, but it obliges the Irish police to consider the matter afresh, the court heard. The case was brought by Irish-Palestinian non-governmental organisation Sadaka, which asked police to investigate whether Airbnb had broken Irish law by operating in the settlements.” (10/16/25)
