Amal Nassar shows a visiting delegation of U.S. church activists a trailer that has been moved onto land beside her family farm near Bethlehem. Known as the Tent of Nations, the farm is an educational and environmental center that sits on the last remaining Palestinian hilltop in the middle of the Gush Etzion settlement block near Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank. The Christian Palestinian family remains under constant threat from settlers and the Israeli military. The trailer was moved there in May 2024, in what Nassar believes is an attempt to establish justification for expelling the Christian family. Photo by Paul Jeffrey, UM News.
