Born a year before Israel's creation, Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour spent his life painting the faces and landscapes of Israeli occupation. He died in August aged 79, and was buried in the occupied West Bank.

France, Canada and other countries joined the U.K. in banning goods from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Israel said it would close the British Consulate among other measures.
