Why are there so few Christians in Israel?

The relatively small number of Christians in Israel can be attributed to several historical, demographic, and social factors:
Historical roots: Christianity has its roots in the region, with Jesus Christ born in Bethlehem and having lived and preached in the area. However, after the Islamic conquests of the 7th century, Christianity's dominance in the region declined as Islam became the dominant religion. Over time, the Christian population in the region decreased as a result.
Demographic factors: Christians in Israel have a lower birth rate compared to the Jewish and Muslim populations. This contributes to their smaller percentage of the total population.
Migration: Many Christians from the region have emigrated over the years, seeking better economic opportunities, education, or to escape regional conflicts. This has led to a decline in the Christian population in Israel and the surrounding areas.
Socio-political context: The complex and often tense political environment in the Middle East may contribute to the relatively low number of Christians in Israel. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as regional tensions, have made it difficult for some Christian communities to thrive in the area.
While the Christian population in Israel is small compared to the Jewish and Muslim populations, it is worth noting that the Christian community has a diverse and rich cultural presence in the country, with many historic churches, monasteries, and pilgrimage sites.
