  <body>Dear all-

I'm going to be traveling to Bethlehem this summer and wondered if anyone had been there recently? I'd appreciate a bit of advice if anyone has, for instance-

1. should I get press accreditation from the Israeli Foreign Ministry?

2. can you recommend a fixer?

3. is it relatively safe to work there?

Any suggestions would be gratefuly received.

best
