BETHLEHEM, WEST BANK - DECEMBER 23: A view of the barbed wires and decorations made from debris symbolizing the destruction in Gaza near the Church of the Nativity, built on a cave where Jesus Christ is believed to have been born, as all Christmas celebrations are limited due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Bethlehem, West Bank on December 23, 2023. Due to Israel's attacks on Gaza, the streets of the city were not decorated for Christmas this year as in previous years. In the city, where festive activities were avoided, the streets were not decorated with lights as in previous years and the Christmas tree in front of the Church of the Nativity (Mehd) was not illuminated. While the courtyard of the Church of the Nativity is filled with visitors every year, this year it was almost empty. (Photo by Wesam Hashlamon/Anadolu via Getty Images)
