  • Palestinian Christians
    Palestinian Christians Palestinian Christians are the descendants of the original indigenous Christians who first believed in Jesus Christ. They are the descendants of the disciples of Jesus Christ & the descendants of other Jews, Philistines, Arabs, Aramaeans/Eremites, Canaanites, Greeks, Romans, Persians & Samaritans... who accepted the Messiah when He was with them in the flesh. Today, they live in Nazareth, Bethlehem, Gaza, Nablus, Ramallah, Jerusalem, Jaffa, Haifa, Jenin, Taybeh, Birzeit, Jifna, al-Bireh, Zababdeh, Tel Aviv, Tubas, Azzun, Aboud, Tiberias, Sakhnin, Shefa-'Amr, Galilee, Jish, Amman, & other places in the Biblical Palestine & Jordan, in addition to the exile. They are Arab Christian Believers of Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic (eastern & western rites), Protestant, Evangelical & other denominations, who have ethnic or family origins in Palestine. In both the local dialect of Palestinian Arabic and in classical or modern standard Arabic, Christians are called Nasrani (a derivative of the Arabic word for Nazareth, al-Nasira) or Masihi (a derivative of Arabic word Masih, meaning "Messiah"). Christians comprise less than 4% of Palestinian Arabs living within the borders of former Mandate Palestine today (around 4% in the West Bank, a negligible percentage in Gaza, and nearly 10% of Israeli Arabs). According to official British Mandate estimates, Mandate Palestine’s Christian population varied between 9.5% (1922) and 7.9% (1946) of the total population. Demographics and Denominations Today, the majority of Palestinian Christians live abroad. In 2005, it was estimated that the Christian population of the Palestinian territories was between 40,000 and 90,000 people, or 2.1 to 3.4% of the population.

The invitation for an Exchange Visit was made by the Palestine Legislative Council (PLC) 1.2 Hon. Kindness Paradza, as the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Foreign Affairs, led the delegation. He was accompanied by the following Members and Officer of Parliament:- -Hon. Priscilla Misihairabwi - Mushonga, Member of Parliament; -Hon. Reuben Marumahoko, Member of Parliament; -Mr. Shepherd Manhivi, Committee Clerk and Secretary to the Delegation. 1.3 The objective of the visit was for the Parliament of Zimbabwe to ascertain, first- hand, the 68-year-old conflict that exist between Palestine and Israel. This would help shape Zimbabwe’s Foreign Policy on the conflict and provide clear lobbying and advocacy strategies for Zimbabwe in its engagement with other SADC and African countries, especially given that most Africans do not seem to have a consistent and united strong voice in support of Palestine. 1.4 The delegation was grateful for the opportunity to meet with the Palestinian President, His Excellency Mahmoud Abbas, Senior Government Officials and a number of Palestinian Parliamentarians during the course of its visit. The delegation left the region with a much greater understanding of the issues confronting the Palestinian people.
