The British street artist Banksy opened the Walled-Off Hotel hotel (“Hotel” surrounded by the wall) on the border between Israel and the Palestinian Autonomy. The hotel located in Bethlehem, directly near the concrete wall, will begin to take guests on March 20. There are only 10 rooms in the hotel, there are almost no sun in rooms, the view from the hotel - according to the owner, is the worst in the world. The hotel is intended for tourists from Israel, with whom the artist wants to show the life of the Palestinians, as well as the concrete fence nearby. However, by law, Israelites are forbidden to visit Palestinian cities. The hotel exhibits the works of Banksi himself and Palestinian artists, there is a small museum dedicated to the history of the region. The hotel is Banksy's political statement, the artist calls the project a cure for fanaticism. Over the past ten years, Banksy has made several graffiti on the wall between Israel and PNU.
