Just entering and leaving is stressful enough from my experience ! With anti-propoganda against them items could get well tricky !
Maybe just send from the UK like they did before.

Text reads the following at the top of the gift shop page:
The gift shop is situated towards the back of the hotel and sells items created exclusively for the Walled Off by Banksy. It should not be confused with the ‘Banksy Shop’ next door – which has nothing to do with Banksy at all. All profits from sales go towards sustaining the hotel and social projects. Select items are available worldwide on mail order.

do people really expect those to be banksy official limited editions? they are not limited in edition but limited in how many people will actually be going to Bethlehem to buy one. Also its 1 purchase per person perhaps it's limited in some fashion but not an official "limited edition of 500" and if there's no recognition whatsoever of the authenticity of the products, guess what, fakes will start flooding the market and youll end up with the same situation faced when buying/selling a tenner. To each his own I guess |

It's an expensive trip even if using Easyjet etc and most fans of Banksy who could afford it have probably visited by now, so additional marketing / incentives have been employed to possibly entice those thinking about it, makes good business sense to me.

They have a long lease so will be open for longer than people think.

maybe good business sense, but for those of us that have already been its a bit of a kick in the teeth. The visit was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had, so a souvenir of some sort would be great eg the key fob. And yes I mean a souvenir. No way I would want to sell it on.
All that was available when I was there were a couple of t-shirts and pens (which I bought).
Really think this should have been opened to past visitors as well as new.

Banksy, Walled Off Hotel, GIFT SHOP, by rr on Sept 7, 2017 17:04:34 GMT 1, Went 2 yrs ago in Palestine alone, looking for his works.
I would love to get back beginning next year but I remember that leaving Israel was a nightmare, security is massive and I'm not sure they will allow pieces of wall in my luggage (every single item in it was double checked last time).
Need to think about it...
