Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf course in Scotland has been vandalised by pro-Palestinian activists in protest against his proposed reconstruction plan for Gaza.
Activists from Palestine Action spray-painted “Gaza is not 4 sale” in 9-foot-high letters across the luxury resort’s lawn, defaced buildings with red paint, and dug up sections of the greens. The group accused Trump of backing a plan that would “destroy, ethnically cleanse, and take over” Gaza.
The protest comes after Trump suggested transforming Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East,” which would involve relocating 2 million Palestinians. His remarks have sparked international condemnation, with Arab leaders rejecting displacement plans.
Trump Turnberry, a prestigious golf course Trump purchased in 2014, is known for its exclusivity, with rounds costing up to $1200. The resort has yet to comment on the incident.
Meanwhile, tensions over Gaza are rising in the west. On Saturday, a man carrying a Palestinian flag climbed Elizabeth Tower in London, causing an emergency response. Police have also blocked a planned pro-Palestine march near a synagogue in central London.
Internationally, France, Germany, Italy, and the UK have endorsed a $53 billion Arab-backed reconstruction plan that keeps Palestinians in Gaza. However, Israel and Trump oppose it, arguing it sidesteps Hamas’ disarmament.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected any role for Hamas or the Palestinian Authority in Gaza’s future. An international conference is set to discuss funding for the rebuilding effort next month.
