An inside look at Banksy’s West Bank hotel

These murals on the walls of a West Bank hotel in the Middle East have brought more interest onto the conflict in the region and follow a range of Banksy murals that have been painted onto the entrance to the West Bank and at checkpoints within the Holy Land.

The latest Banksy murals leave a view of the banal nature of the conflict with a hooded Palestinian youth having a pillow fight with an Israeli soldier. The murals by Banksy has been drawn in the Walled-Off Hotel in the city of Bethlehem and the room had a view of the walls that separate communities and people in the area.
