When searching for inspiration as to how to solve the ever-escalating conflict between Israel, the Palestinian people, and the Gaza strip, the lyrical works of Beyoncé might not be the most obvious of choices.

But that hasn’t stopped liberal advocacy group J Street from adopting one of her finest tracks to troll Benjamin Netanyahu on Twitter.

The US organization that promotes peace in the Middle East has designed a cartoon graphic of the  Israeli Prime Minister performing the "Single Ladies" dance in front of two women wearing leotards in the shape of the country.

The lines on said leotards? Well, they denote the borders of a potential Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza.

"If you like it then you should put a border on it," reads the caption.

As well as appearing in physical sticker form, the image, which accompanies a petition demanding Netanyahu shows "his commitment to peace by proposing clear borders for a final agreement", has been circulated online.
