About Bethlehem
Bethlehem is a city in the West Bank, Palestine, located about ten kilometres south of Jerusalem, and the capital of the Bethlehem Governorate. It had a population of 28,591 people, as of 2017. The city's economy is strongly linked to tourism, especially during the Christmas period, when Christians embark on a pilgrimage to the Church of the Nativity, which is revered as the location of the birth of Jesus.

So... What? It's a different Bethlehem. There's a Bethlehem. in Israel where everyone goes and they're like this is the birthplace of Jesus, but Israel has two Bethlehems.
