In 2017, the 100th anniversary of the British control of Palestine, Banksy financed the creation of the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem. The hotel closed this week amid Israel's ongoing assaults on Palestine.

Previously it was open to the public, and contains rooms designed by Banksy and other artists. Each of the bedrooms of the hotel faces the wall.
