Banksy’s latest work – his take on a nativity scene – has been unveiled at his hotel in Bethlehem.
The Scar of Bethlehem artwork features a nativity scene with Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus. But, instead of a star hanging over the crib, there is what appears to be a large bullet hole piercing an imposing grey wall.
The piece has appeared in the Walled Off Hotel, Banksy’s property that overlooks the border wall in the divided city.
Opened two years ago, the hotel is billed as having “the worst view of any hotel in the world”.
The highlight is room number three, where guests sleep in a king-size bed underneath Banksy’s artwork showing a Palestinian and an Israeli having a pillow fight.
