No where near as many as there used to be. Many have emigrated to the US and Canada since 1995. Very much a minority population now.There are a fair few Palestinian Christians as well they are not all Muslims, I think people overplay the religious side (many because they think it's cool and edgy) prior to the 90's there was no such thing as militant Islamic groups in Palestine or anywhere else yet they were killing each other, they were secular groups some made up of Muslims and Christians, Israel itself is quite a secular country although the religious right are trying to change things, Jews and Arabs and Muslims and Christians can all live together in fact in many countries they actually do
I discovered this in Bethlehem told me this when I did the Holy Land tour in 2017. Bethlehem used to be 50/50 Muslim/Christian - not any more.
