Holy Land: In Taybeh, Christian olive farmers are being driven away from their trees while Jewish settlers steal their olive trees

Among the settlers seen on farmland south of Taybeh was Neriya Ben Pazi, who was sanctioned by the United States in 2024. At the time, the U.S. State Department said he had been involved in violence against Palestinians and had expelled Palestinian shepherds from hundreds of acres of land. The U.S. Treasury Department also designated entities linked to him.

Jewish settlers attack the olive trees belonging to Christians in the only entirely Christian village in the Holy Land. Leo XIV writes to the parish priest of Gaza

The consequences extend well beyond a single season. Taybeh has more than 16,000 dunams of land planted with olive trees, equivalent to over 1,600 hectares. Olive oil has sustained household economies for generations, supplied local families and reached markets beyond Palestine
