Bethlehem Mayor Maher Nicola Canawati received Ms. Gemma, Director of the Bethlehem-Cologne Friendship Association, in the presence of Municipal Council Member Hisham Al-Kamel and the Public Relations and Media Team. This visit comes within the framework of strengthening the historical relationship between Bethlehem and the German city of Cologne, which is based on friendship and mutual cooperation in various fields.

For his part, Canawati stressed the importance of international cooperation in conveying the voice of Palestine to the world, emphasizing that Bethlehem is not just a city of peace, but rather represents a human conscience that must be strongly present in the face of the ongoing injustice to which Palestine is subjected.
