Trump and Netanyahu share a kiss on West Bank wall mural
BETHLEHEM,
West Bank (Reuters) - Another Donald Trump mural believed to be the
work of Australian graffiti artist Lushsux has popped up on Israel’s
barrier in the occupied West Bank, this time depicting the U.S.
president sharing a kiss with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
His
face hidden by a headdress, a man who identified himself as Lushsux
said against the backdrop of a cement section of the Israeli wall in
Bethlehem that he hoped his painting would draw attention to
Palestinians stuck in “an indoor prison”.
The
Bethlehem wall has become a showcase of protest art voicing
Palestinians’ fears that Israel’s West Bank fence-and-concrete barrier
is a land grab that may deny them a state. Israelis deem the project a
bulwark against Palestinian attack.
”The wall
is a message in itself,“ the man, who said he painted the mural
overnight, told Reuters. ”I don’t need to write ‘Free Palestine’ or
something like that, something really direct ... that people will
ignore.
“I just paint what I usually paint and
maybe people will start looking at the background and looking at the
razor wire and looking at people stuck in here, and maybe that’ll work
better,” he said in Australian-accented English.
Murals
on the barrier believed to be the work of Lushsux include one showing
Trump kissing an Israeli watchtower and another depicting him placing
his hand on the barrier and thinking about building a similar wall on
the U.S. border with Mexico.
