Israel’s Christians rely on faith and allies as they fear rising harassment

Christians in Israel, who account for less than 2% of the population, are increasingly relying on faith and allies amid fears of rising harassment. In Mount Tabor and Jerusalem's Old City, some religious figures have taken precautionary measures, such as Sister Mayela, a Catholic nun who now walks to work accompanied by a Jewish volunteer for protection following a violent attack on another nun in Jerusalem.

The situation highlights growing security concerns for the Christian minority in the region, prompting reliance on interfaith cooperation and support networks to navigate the perceived rise in hostility and threats.
