Banksy Unveils Four New Art Pieces In Gaza, Palestine

Street graffiti artist Banksy has been visiting the Gaza Strip
Banksy was on a trip to Gaza, Palestine a few months after the shelling of the city by Israeli forces. It has been the center of the fight between Hamas and Israel for almost a decade now.
The acclaimed graffiti street artist posted on Instagram a piece "Eat the Rich*" along with a smallprint "With our new 2 for 1 offer including a choice of wine". The large print seems messy, but the smallprint looks identical to that of a normal advertisement.

Another four pieces have since been found in the Gaza area with the common surveillance, government and think-pieces, alongside an image of a cat with a ball of wire on the side.
Banksy's mix of real life situations and street art is known globally, and his focus on political issues and dual-identity style art. He is the most famous street artist, and yet there's little knowledge as to who he is, adding to the thrill of new pieces
The Gaza conflict represents one side powerless to the destruction caused by the government in charge and the Israeli forces. Banksy has tried to show how even if Hamas is violent, it's not the organization that suffers, but the people who live under it.
On Banksy's video channel, he shows some of the destruction inside Gaza, along with the Israeli ground forces controlling the area. It's an interesting few minutes for those that want to find out what's going on in the country.
