There is no peace in Taybeh. A small village a few kilometers north of Jerusalem and east of Ramallah, it is known as the last Palestinian village still entirely inhabited by Christians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn recent days, we have suffered new attacks by settlers,\u201d Father Bashar Fawadleh tells Vatican News. He is originally from Aboud, another small village near Ramallah, and has served as parish priest of Taybeh\u2019s Latin church since 2021. The town, with just over a thousand inhabitants, has three churches\u2014the Orthodox Church, the Melkite Church, and the Latin-rite Church.<\/p>\n<h2>Growing violence<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe settlers destroyed one of the buildings belonging to the parish and to a parishioner,\u201d as well as two cars parked in front of it. Fr. Fawadleh recounts how \u201cthey slashed the tires, smashed the glass, the windows\u2014everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure>    <picture><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\"  data-original-set=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/ansa\/2025\/07\/28\/12\/1753698386210.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg 2x, \/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/ansa\/2025\/07\/28\/12\/1753698386210.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.750.422.jpeg 1x\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"  data-original-set=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/ansa\/2025\/07\/28\/12\/1753698386210.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1000.563.jpeg 2x, \/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/ansa\/2025\/07\/28\/12\/1753698386210.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.500.281.jpeg 1x\"><source  data-original-set=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/ansa\/2025\/07\/28\/12\/1753698386210.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.500.281.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-original=\"http:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/ansa\/2025\/07\/28\/12\/1753698386210.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.750.422.jpeg\" alt=\"Israeli settlers attacked West Bank village of Taybeh\" title=\"Israeli settlers attacked West Bank village of Taybeh\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/ansa\/2025\/07\/28\/12\/1753698386210.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.750.422.jpeg\">    <\/picture>       <\/figure>\n<p>    Israeli settlers attacked West Bank village of Taybeh \u00a0 (ANSA)   <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For the second time in two days, the gas station was also destroyed and everything stolen. \u201cThese acts of vandalism and violence are unacceptable and require a firm condemnation by Israelis,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed criticism of Monday\u2019s attacks in a West Bank village carried out by some settlers, whom he described as a \u201chandful of extremists.\u201d Words that, Fr. Fawadleh says, \u201cmean a lot\u201d because they are further proof that \u201cwhat is happening in the West Bank is truly a crime.\u201d His response therefore seems to be a sign of international pressure stepping in to stop violence that \u201cis unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A meager harvest season<\/h2>\n<p>Yet the village of Taybeh is not new to these dynamics, having long endured attacks by Israeli settlers, though they intensified after 7 October, 2023\u2014especially at the start of the harvest season. In that area, many Palestinians must travel to reach their farmland when the time comes to gather the crops, but they are constantly hindered by roadblocks and violence.<\/p>\n<p> Olive oil production, historically important in Palestine, is expected to drop sharply this year due to drought and settler attacks, according to the Palestinian NGO ARIJ. \u201cThis is the third year we have been unable to reach our olive groves,\u201d the parish priest explains.<\/p>\n<h2>A climate of fear<\/h2>\n<p>Frequent assaults have created a climate of fear among residents, now at the point of exasperation. \u201cAfter the many settler attacks\u2014not only in Taybeh but in the area east of Ramallah\u2014many people are thinking of emigrating, of leaving the country because there is no security,\u201d he continues. Daily life in Taybeh \u201cis subject to restrictions due to many closures and military barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This current way of life marked by suffering attracted the attention of religious and civil institutions last July, when the leaders of the Christian Churches of the Holy Land\u2014together with several diplomatic delegations\u2014visited the village to express support with a simple request: peace.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure>    <picture><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\"  data-original-set=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/afp\/2025\/07\/15\/18\/1752598420317.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg 2x, \/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/afp\/2025\/07\/15\/18\/1752598420317.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.750.422.jpeg 1x\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"  data-original-set=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/afp\/2025\/07\/15\/18\/1752598420317.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1000.563.jpeg 2x, \/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/afp\/2025\/07\/15\/18\/1752598420317.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.500.281.jpeg 1x\"><source  data-original-set=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/afp\/2025\/07\/15\/18\/1752598420317.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.500.281.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-original=\"http:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/afp\/2025\/07\/15\/18\/1752598420317.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.750.422.jpeg\" alt=\"The visit to Taybeh by the heads of the Churches of the Holy Land and the diplomatic delegations last 21 July\" title=\"The visit to Taybeh by the heads of the Churches of the Holy Land and the diplomatic delegations last 21 July\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/content\/dam\/vaticannews\/agenzie\/images\/afp\/2025\/07\/15\/18\/1752598420317.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.750.422.jpeg\">    <\/picture>       <\/figure>\n<p>    The visit to Taybeh by the heads of the Churches of the Holy Land and the diplomatic delegations last 21 July \u00a0 (AFP or licensors)   <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to Fr. Fawadleh, their message had three dimensions: a \u201csign of unity among Christians\u201d and of closeness; a gesture of diplomatic solidarity; and an attempt to pressure authorities to stop the settler attacks, which had escalated to the point of starting a fire that reached the apse of the Church of Saint George.<\/p>\n<h2>Hope for Taybeh<\/h2>\n<p>In this time of tribulation, it is important \u201cto keep praying,\u201d the parish priest says, \u201cbecause prayer can work miracles, it can change people, it can transform these situations\u201d for the better and lead to peace.<\/p>\n<p>He also stresses the need to support the community of Taybeh, a small parish sustained by the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. The immediate goal is to create new jobs to give stability and income to many families, and to raise funds for a housing project.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to never lose sight of hope. \u201cIn place of fear of settler attacks,\u201d the Church is called \u201cto bring forth hope\u201d in people\u2019s hearts\u2014hope that it will be possible to live in peace and security. \u201cMy hope,\u201d concludes Father Fawadleh, \u201cis the hope of the Resurrection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading our article.
