Bethlehem strives to reignite hope amid occupation

This Christmas, the streets and squares of the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, are preparing to shine once again. After two years of mourning and celebration abstention in solidarity with their Gazan brothers and sisters due to the devastation of Israel’s war on the Strip, the city is reclaiming its festive spirit. On Saturday, the traditional Christmas tree in Manger Square will be lit, signaling the start of the festive season.
