Airbnb has reversed its controversial stance to remove listings of rentals in Israeli settlements in the West Bank
New York .
The company said Tuesday that it will allow listings in the region, but says it will not profit off them.

The updated policy comes as part of the settlement of lawsuits brought by hosts and potential hosts who objected to the company's move to ban listings in disputed areas, the company said.
