"The decision confirms that our people Muslims and Christians alike, are united on the path of resilience, preserving their identity, and protecting their Islamic and Christian sanctities," it continued.
Earlier, the Palestinian Christians announced the cancelation of all Christmas celebrations, including not lighting Christmas trees for the first time in Palestine's history since the Nakba of 1948.
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7, killing at least 20,424 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 54,036 others, according to health authorities in the enclave.
Around 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed in the Hamas attack.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins with half of the coastal territory's housing stock damaged or destroyed, and nearly two million people displaced within the densely-populated enclave amid shortages of food and clean water.
