Across the Middle East, some of the world’s oldest Christian communities are shrinking.
Decades of violence, persecution, social and demographic change have dramatically altered the region’s Christian presence.

Exhibit A: A Palestinian police officer involved in a terrorist attack on July 23.

🌊 A rare ocean sunfish was spotted in Israel’s Red Sea near Eilat. Usually found in the open ocean, sightings in Israel are exceptionally rare. Another reminder of the remarkable marine life found beneath Israel’s waters. 🇮🇱

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
