Banksy unveils Scar of Bethlehem Nativity at Walled Off Hotel
Banksy installs a politically charged Nativity scene named Scar of Bethlehem at the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem. The mural shows Jesus birth under Israel's West Bank barrier with a star-shaped bullet hole, highlighting the barrier’s impact on the city and Christmas tourism. Wisam Salsan, the hotel manager, notes the piece was recently sent to the hotel and viewed by visitors alongside Banksy’s other works.
