Graffiti resembling the work of elusive artist Banksy has appeared on Israel’s security barrier in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the work found early on Friday was done by Banksy or a Banksy-wannabe.
One drawing shows US President Donald Trump hugging and kissing an Israeli watchtower on the barrier.
In another, Trump is depicted wearing a Jewish skullcap. A cartoon bubble next to him says: “I’m going to build you a brother.”

Israel built the barrier a decade ago, amid heightened violence with the Palestinians and in a bid to stop Palestinian suicide bombers and gunmen from entering the country.
Banksy has made forays into the West Bank in the past and designed a hotel in Bethlehem with “the worst view in the world.”
