Difficult to ignore the Israeli-Palestinian tensions during Christmas Mass in Bethlehem, West Bank.
The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem - that the head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land - prayed for peace to reign in Jerusalem.
He also called for rebuilding Gaza to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Fouad Twal denounced "a vicious circle of violence and retaliation" between Israelis and Palestinians, especially since the conflict last summer that killed nearly 2,300 deaths in large Palestinian majority.
No truce in perspective.
On Wednesday, the Israeli army killed a Hamas militant in southern Gaza after coming under fire.
His funeral took place in the day.
