An Italian artist's painting inspired by the arrest of Palestinian teenager Fawzi al-Junaidi, during a protest against Trump's declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital last week, is going viral on social media. 

The painting was posted online by Italian painter, Alessia Pelonzi, just days after the photo of the blindfolded 16-year-old being led away by dozens of armed Israeli soldiers took Twitter by storm. 

According to Daily Sabah, the image was captured by photographer Abed Al Hashlamoun in the West Bank city of Hebron on December 7. 

In her recreation of the photo، Pelonzi focuses on al-Junaidi, and only outlines the soldiers arresting him.

In a statement to Turkey's Anadolu Agency, the artist said the photo moved her into action and was her way to express solidarity with Palestinians. 

"Solidarity is the most important thing in these dark times and I believe it's one of the most powerful weapons against injustice," she explained. 

"The soldiers are taking the kid but you can see the Palestinian flag in the drawing anyway. It's something that can't be silenced. You can't sweep their identity as a people under the carpet," she added. 

Latest news reports said the young teenager's trial has been postponed until next weekHe is accused of throwing stones at soldiers at the protest but has denied the charges. 

Pelonzi's painting summed up in one word: "Palestine"

It's now making the rounds online

"Touched our souls half a world away"

Many are sending love to Pelonzi... all the way from Palestine

Israel detains hundreds of Palestinian children every year

According to Palestinian human rights organization Addameer, Israel annually arrests, interrogates and detains around 700 Palestinian children from the occupied West Bank. 

It is estimated that since 2000, more than 12,000 Palestinian children have been unlawfully detained by Israeli authorities.

In recent years the occupying state has been condemned for passing the "Youth Bill," which permits the detention of children as young as twelve if they are convicted of "terrorist offenses."

Israel's Military law, which is currently applied to Palestinian residents of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, also allows the imprisonment of children.
