Orthodox Christmas in Bethlehem a ‘muted affair’
Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith, reporting from the occupied West Bank, says that Manger Square, which takes its name from the place Jesus is said to have been born, is deserted.
“It’s quite sad really, because on a normal Christmas night, whether it be December 25 or January 6 for Orthodox Christians, Manger Square would be packed,” he said.
“There would be a lot of singing and chanting but there is none of that this year. It’s a particularly muted affair because there is no mood really among Palestinians to celebrate Christmas.”
Christians in the occupied West Bank, like all Palestinians, have been experiencing an uptick in violence from Israeli forces since the outbreak of the war in Gaza on October 7.
“As Palestinians, including as Christians, we live under an Israeli colonial apartheid regime that seeks to ethnically cleanse us, be us Christians, Muslims, or any Palestinian,” lawyer and human rights advocate Cathrine Abuamsha, who is Christian, told Al Jazeera.
“What we have been seeing here after the Israeli genocidal war in the Gaza Strip is even more intense… because they’re trying to push us down, they’re trying to deny any kind of resistance,” she added.
Israel’s control over northern Gaza remains unclear
Hamas fighters continue to engage Israeli military forces in northern Gaza, an area where Israel says it has successfully dismantled the group’s military network and collected millions of documents.
“We do want to note that just today, when the Israeli army made this announcement, Hamas’ Qassam Brigades also released video of fierce clashes in the Tuffah neighbourhood of northern Gaza, so kind of contradicting there what the Israeli military is saying,” Al Jazeera correspondent Hamdah Salhut reported from occupied East Jerusalem.
