When I worked for the American Embassy in Tel Aviv I was sent to work at the American Consulate (defacto Pali Emb) in Jerusalem. On one of those visits, I was told that the Consulate Grounds, or adjacently had The tomb of Lazarus which is under American control unavailable to the public. What I was told deeply offended me, I did not pursue the matter. The Holy Church they are referring to is in J-rue proper.

The Nativity Church in Bethlehem is the site of his birth and just down the street is Milk Grotto or Manger where Mary and Joseph took Jesus. Both are under Pali control in Bethlehem.

the Jerusalem consulate is indeed the American embassy to “Palestine.” I’ve been past there many times and, as an American, I hate having to walk by and know that my tax dollars are paying the salary of their (Arab)”guards.” And Christian access to Bethlehem? Obviously of no importance to our current President. I wonder why.
