July 14, 2025

Taybeh is the only entirely Christian village in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza. Priests reported that Israeli settlers have set fires in Taybeh, damaging historic buildings and essential crops while instilling fear among residents.

Since the attacks began, the workers have been terrified of going to work the land because they have been attacked so many times. Local pastors wrote, “The displacement of farmers from their land, the threat to their churches, and the siege of their town is a stab to the heart of this nation,” as they asked for help.

A priest declared of the Jewish settlers: “Their main goal is to occupy more land. To tell us: this land is for us, not for you. They do this to steal everything from the land. They also want to encourage us to leave this country, to leave the land of Taybeh. They do this to instill fear in the people.”

In Sinjil, a town that is north-east of Ramallah, Saif al Din Musallat, 20, who was visiting from Florida, was attacked and beaten to death on Friday July 11. Israeli violence in the West Bank has increased since President Trump lifted sanctions placed on Jewish settlers by Biden.

After raising Lazarus from the dead, the Lord Jesus “no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim,” (Jn. 11:54).

Ephraim is today known as Taybeh. In addition to being the only entirely Christian village in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza, it is also known for its beer.
