Fresh graffiti has been daubed on a wall outside the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

The pro-Palestine slogan: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” was sprayed on the wall bordering the Falls Road in west Belfast on Wednesday night.

It comes just hours after police confirmed they were treating anti-DUP graffiti on the same wall as a “sectarian hate crime.”

DUP leader Gavin Robinson posed for pictures at the wall on the Falls Road last week urging the Belfast Trust to remove the original pro-Palestine slogan and flag that had been on the wall for six months.

The DUP leader previously said that a complaint about the presence of the writing was lodged with the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust more than five months ago after he was contacted by local members of the Jewish community.

Earlier this week the pro-Palestine slogan was removed by contractors and a new anti-DUP and pro-Palestine message was sprayed on the wall shortly after.

The graffiti reads “F***k the DUP. Free Palestine”

A spokesperson for the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust said: “Belfast Trust can confirm that we are in discussions with a contractor so work to remove this graffiti can begin in the coming days.”
