Most of the foreign companies seem to be travel/tourism related. I wonder if it means that you can go on Booking.com and book a room in occupied territories, maybe these options only show up in particular markets.
This is definitely not an exhaustive list either, but I’m guessing these are the clearest cut cases.
“The report identifies businesses involved in specific activities, including supplying equipment and materials that facilitate the construction and maintenance of illegal settlements, demolition of houses and property of Palestinians, surveillance activities, the use of natural resources for business purposes, and the pollution and dumping of waste in Palestinian villages.”
Page 8 of the report, specifically, “The provision of services and utilities supporting the maintenance and existence of settlements, including transport.”
My employer is not on the list. Phew.

I wonder what the link to booking.com is? An AirBnB style room in occupied territory? Guess that’s expected when not actively blocked.
A huge resort development exclusively marketed through booking.com? Very different story.
Somewhere in between? Capitalism.

So where is booking.com in that list?

Thanks.
