JNS.org – The online travel reservation service Booking.com has erased its categorization of Jerusalem as an “Israeli settlement” after being contacted for questioning by a Belgian Jewish newspaper.
Booking.com, which is based in Amsterdam, made the change on Tuesday just hours after the editor-in-chief of the Antwerp Joods Actueel newspaper wrote to the company, asking why it refers to the historic, ancient city as a “settlement.”
“I thought it was a hoax until I checked it out and saw it with my own eyes,” said Michael Freilich, after receiving a tip from a reader.
Jerusalem is now located in Israel on the Booking.com website.
The company did not reply to Freilich.
