🇵🇸 Bethlehem Will Not Celebrate Christmas This Year
“Bethlehem is very sad this year. I hope the war stops and we can start anew, to see hope and peace always in our country.”
In an interview, 11-year-old Joseph Nassar, who used to sing at Christmas celebrations, and Eihab Zablah, known for portraying Santa Claus and distributing gifts during the festive season, spoke about the changed atmosphere in Bethlehem.

🇵🇸 No Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem this year
The church is empty, Bethlehem is empty, and even locals from Palestine can’t join us,” says Father Issa Thaljieh, describing how both the church and the city are quiet.
In an interview, Father Thaljieh, the priest at the Greek Orthodox Parish in the Church of the Nativity, speaks about how Christmas in Bethlehem this year will be markedly different. The celebrations will be subdued, focusing on prayer and spiritual activities, without the usual parades, music, and large gatherings.
Jack Issa Jekman, an olive wood craftsman, added, ‘Bethlehem is suffering. All ways in and out of the city are closed.’ As he spoke about the economic impact on the area due to the war in Gaza.

🇵🇸 Bethlehem’s bombed-out nativity sculpture sends a powerful message to the world
This year, Bethlehem is sombre and quiet. There is no #Christmas tree and there are no holiday lights or tourists to see them.Instead, the city of Jesus’s birth – which is in the middle of a war zone – is marking Christmas with a powerful and poignant message: solidarity with Palestine.
The Holy Family Cave is a sculpture that depicts a harrowing tableau: a bombed-out version of the traditional nativity cave, which many #Christians traditionally believe is where Jesus was born in Bethlehem. It is the site of the Church of the Nativity in #Bethlehem.
Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim reports from Bethlehem.

🇵🇸 Israel approves new West Bank settlement on UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Israeli government on 14 August officially approved municipal boundaries for a new settlement on a UNESCO World Heritage Site near #Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
#JewishSupremacist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said his office had “completed its work and published a plan for the new Nahal Heletz settlement in Gush Etzion,” a bloc of settlements south of occupied Jerusalem.
“No anti-Israeli and anti-#Zionist decision will stop the development of settlements. We will continue to fight against the dangerous project of creating a Palestinian state by creating facts on the ground. This is my life's mission, and I will continue it as much as I can," the Israeli official, who lives in an illegal settlement, said via social media.
