The Midnight Convoy: Visiting Joseph's Tomb

Joseph's Tomb in Nablus is sacred to Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Samaritans — yet visiting it requires a military operation. In this episode, we unpack the history of this small domed building in Area A of the West Bank, from its biblical origins as Joseph's burial site to its modern role as a flashpoint. We explore the Oslo Accords' failed guarantee of access, the 1996 and 2000 destructions of the tomb, and the fragile monthly convoy system that leaves the site empty and locked 29 days out of 30.
