That is correct, Bethlehem is under occupation in the West Bank. People in Gaza cannot get permits to visit for Christmas. Also, people in the occupied West Bank who lost families when churches in Gaza were bombed and family members are being denied food, water, and medical aide do not feel that feasts and presents are appropriate. It is a time for prayer not presents.
