Renowned street artist Banksy has unveiled a new politically-charged artwork just in time for Christmas.
The new artwork depicts a grim nativity scene, showing the birth of Jesus underneath Israel's West Bank separation barrier with a star shaped bullet hole. It was sent to a Palestinian guesthouse in Bethlehem filled with Banksy artwork.
The separation barrier was built by Israel in what the country says was necessary to prevent Palestinian suicide bombers crossing from the West Bank. Since the opening of the hotel, more than a quarter of a million tourists have visited. Image: Getty
