Christmas day in the occupied West Bank unfolded with an attack on the Jenin refugee camp, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 52 Palestinian lives due to Israel’s retaliatory actions.

The town of Bethlehem itself witnessed strikes in a series of raids, leading to numerous arrests and a heartbreaking incident where a 17-year-old boy was shot in the neck.

Expressing solidarity, Pope Francis tweeted, “Tonight, our hearts are in Bethlehem, where the Prince of Peace is once more rejected by the futile logic of war.”

The clash of arms preventing the embrace of peace resonates deeply, reflecting the challenges faced by the city that holds profound significance in Christian history.

Despite Hamas having a limited presence in the West Bank, the region has witnessed a surge in violence and arrests parallel to Israel’s conflict with the Gaza Strip.

The Hamas-run health ministry reports a staggering death toll, claiming Israeli troops have killed over 20,000 Palestinians.

In response, Israel accuses Hamas of inflating casualty figures for strategic manipulation.

Amidst the turmoil, there have been widespread calls for a ceasefire from foreign nations and global organizations.

Even the United States, Israel’s close ally, issued a rare condemnation, urging an end to hostilities.

However, Israel remains resolute in its stance, rejecting pleas for a ceasefire and vowing to uproot Hamas.

In the midst of this conflict, Bethlehem stands as a poignant symbol of the impact of war on the spirit of Christmas, emphasizing the urgent need for peace in the region.
