How safe is Palestine?
Ramallah
Ramallah is a relatively safe city and one of the most stable areas in the West Bank. It has a lively atmosphere, with many cafes, shops, and a strong security presence to keep things orderly.........

it’s pretty safe! the people are really friendly, so don’t be alarmed if you get invited over by a stranger to share a meal with their family. i never really have to worry about my safety as a woman, except for the occasional cat calling. the only real concern is when the cities get raided and the entrances and exits get blocked off by the iof.

Everyone knows almost everyone so if anything would happen it might happen very late at night after 2am maybe. But even then thats very unlikely to happen. The palestinian community is very safe for women however as an occupied country its not safe for anyone to go around when soldiers are around but the locals would notify eachother if that does happen. Crimes are super rare because again we’re relatively a small community in each city in palestine.

Mostly Jerusalem is a safe place, especially in daytime and if you're not alone. But, due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people, and because Jerusalem is packed by strictly orthodox Jews, sometimes there're terror attacks and demonstrations. It happens mostly in east Jerusalem, but you don't want to go there anyway. Lovely and very beautiful city, wouldn't recommend travelling there along at night, unless you know some locals.

Bethlehem, Group travel
I would feel 100% safe but some homeless guys tryna touch me and take my hands on them. I totally recommend the polish shop near the church( soo kind man lower prices for poles). Fine budget nothing to worry about
