Belfast Artists Put Up Show of Solidarity with Gaza

A band of mural artists in Northern Ireland have transformed Belfast’s iconic International Wall into the Palestinian Wall, in a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people and artists amid Israel’s continuing war on Gaza. 
 
The mural artists painted images that were sent to them by Palestinian artists who would have risked imprisonment, and even their safety, had they attempted to create these works in their homeland in the occupied West Bank. 
 
The Wall on Divis Street in Belfast, well known for its political murals, is now decorated with striking images commemorating Palestinians and their struggle for freedom. 
 
And flags of Palestine and Ireland flutter next to each other over the International Wall in support of Gaza, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Liverpool won 2-1 against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday. 
 
The Seagulls stole the lead in the opening 87 seconds but thankfully, the Reds found a reply through Luis Diaz in the twenty-seventh minute. 
 
And then, Mohamed Salah making his first league start since New Year's Day, coolly slotted in from Alexis Mac Allister's pass in the 65th minute. The Egyptian striker had tormented Brighton, taking 12 shots to notch up his highest total in a Premier League game and, even though only one of them found the back of the net, it was to prove vital.
