Israeli reporters barred from Christmas services in Bethlehem

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton joined 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen at Christmas mass in Bethlehem, but most Israeli reporters were barred from attending (I know one who snuck into the city).

On Tuesday, the Palestinian Authority,
which controls the historic Biblical town of Bethlehem, barred Israeli
journalists from covering Christmas festivities.
