Red Ties

This drawing critiques the indifferent attitudes of the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and US-President Donald Trump towards Gaza. Depicting them discussing a seaside resort while Palestinians suffer, it highlights the stark contrast between political ambivalence and human tragedy.

The red ties symbolize the bloodshed, and the golden Trump statue overlooks barbed wire, emphasizing the divide.

Israeli police brutality and a grieving mother by a mass grave underscore the harsh realities faced by Palestinians.

The artwork aims to provoke thought and empathy for those affected by the conflict.
