Trying to reconnect

摘要

Nazareth, the largest Arab city in Israel, and Ramallah, seat of the Palestinian government in the West Bank, recently signed the first agreement twinning towns in the two places. Ra mallah is paired with towns abroad, but Nazareth is different, says Maha Shiha deh, the official behind the plan. She hopes the accord could prompt pilgrims visiting Jesus's hometown to head to Ramallah as well and help it emulate Nazareth's conversion from a dilapidated town into a tourist destination.
