A new mural by anonymous street artist Banksy appeared on the walls of the Royal Courts of Justice in London at night before being quickly covered by guards.
The mural is considered a response to the arrest of hundreds of demonstrators to support the forbidden Group Palestine promotion.
Banksy shared images of the work on Instagram on Monday, captions: Royal Courts of Justice London.

Against lunch, the artwork was covered and fenced by guards, who also placed CCTV cameras on the site.

The Royal Courts of Justice, which houses the Supreme Court, is a Grade One -Gain -Gainted building, which means that it has the highest level of historical protection in England.

Because the building is 143 years old, the mural will be removed with regard to its historical significance, according to the HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTs).

“The Royal Courts of Justice is a listed building and HMCTs are obliged to retain its original character,” HMCTs said in a statement.

The mural was the first artwork of Banksy since May, when he pulled an image of a lighthouse on a wall in Marseille, France, accompanied by the stencile words: I want to be what you saw in me.

Proponents say that the latest artworks show ‘brutality’ of the prohibition on the government

Although Banksy never comments on its artworks, the London Artwork has been interpreted as a statement about the arrests of protesters who oppose the ban of Palestina Action as a terrorist group.
The British government forbade the group in July, after some members were broken into in a Royal Air Force Base and military planes were damaged.

Support or belonging to the organization now has fines of a maximum of 14 years in prison and places it alongside groups such as Al-Qaida and the self-proclaimed Islamic State.

Defend our jury’s, who organized Saturday’s protest, said that Banksy’s wall painting “brutally displays brutality” by the prohibition of government.
The police said that hundreds of Palestinian action supporters have been held in recent weeks under the legislation for the fight against anti-terrorism, including more than 500 in one day last month. Many of the arrested were older than 60.
The metropolitan police of London said that people were held for a number of offenses, including the attacking of police officers and supporting a forbidden organization.

Human rights groups have criticized the prohibition as disproportionate, and claims that it limits freedom of expression and the right to peaceful protest.

Banksy has previously expressed his concern about the conditions in Gaza. In 2015, when he announced more street art there, he described it as “the world’s largest open -air prison”, in which Israel has checked the access and exit of the Palestinian enclave for years.

In August 2005, Banksy painted various large murals on the controversial Israel-built separation barrierWho runs around most of the occupied West Bank, including an image of two boys who make sand castles under a painted gorge with a tropical beach, and a girl who was lifted over the wall by balloons.
In 2007 a Banksy stencil of a rat with a slingshot – later dubbed slingshot – rat – appeared on the wall before it was cut by unknown people and eventually appear in a Tel Aviv -Galerij in 2022.
Banksy opened the walled hotel in Bethlehem in 2017, launched as the “worst view of every hotel in the world”, overlooking the barrier. It closed in October 2023 and quoted “major developments in the region” after the war in Hamas-Israël broke out on October 7, 2023.
