The article discusses the ancient olive tree in Bethlehem, estimated to be around 5,500 years old, which faces significant challenges due to drought and water shortages threatening its production. The tree, known for its large size and seasonal yield of up to 600 kilograms of olives, is considered a symbol of Palestinian history, agriculture, and heritage, serving as a livelihood for families and farmers. The annual olive harvest season is a family tradition that embodies the bond between generations and the land. However, environmental and security challenges—particularly attacks by settlers involving theft and destruction of the trees—add to the farmers’ suffering and hinder efforts to preserve this natural and symbolic heritage. The repeated damage highlights the urgent need to provide water and support to farmers to ensure the continued production of olives, which hold deep national and historical significance.
