Palestinian christian Samer Tarzi attends the celebration lighting up the Christmas tree at the Holy Family Church in Gaza City on December 17, 2022. Tarazi, is one of the many Palestinian Christians that were refused an entry permit by the Israeli. Israel has prevented 200 Palestinian Christians in Gaza from taking part in Christmas festivities in the cities of Bethlehem, Jerusalem and the West Bank. The Greek Orthodox Church in the besieged enclave had sent a list of 800 names to the Palestinian Civil Affairs Committee in Gaza requesting they be given permission to go to the West Bank to celebrate Christmas. However, Israel refused to grant entry permits to 200 Christian worshippers citing security concerns. Photo by Majdi Fathi\ apaimages
