Since October 7, there has been much in the news about the atrocities committed by Hamas, the hostages taken, and Israel’s all-encompassing war in Gaza. However, we have not heard much about what is currently taking place in the West Bank. The Macdonald Center has invited a Palestinian Christian and Muslim, two long-time friends, who will share their thoughts about religion and their experiences of living in Jerusalem and the West Bank during this time of war.
