A football pitch on the northern edge of Bethlehem, built in 2020 for over 200 children from the Aida refugee camp, faced demolition after Israeli authorities declared it illegal and issued a demolition order. The field, cherished by young players who see it as a place to build their dreams, became the focus of community resistance, including social media campaigns and a petition with hundreds of thousands of signatures. The Israeli military cited security concerns due to the pitch's proximity to the separation wall, but mounting local and international attention prompted a political decision to postpone the demolition. For now, the children and their community have a reprieve, though the future of the pitch remains uncertain.
