The Christian population in Bethlehem has declined significantly in recent years, a trend driven largely by increasing Islamist intolerance and ongoing political instability. Once a thriving Christian hub, Bethlehem, located in the Palestinian Territories, has seen its Christian community shrink from over 85% of the population in the 20th century to around 15-20% today.

This decline is attributed to a combination of factors, including economic hardships, limited opportunities for young people, and the rising influence of conservative Islamic groups that often view Christian communities with hostility.
