A pro-Palestinian activist group, Palestine Action, has claimed responsibility for vandalizing President Donald Trump’s golf course, Trump Turnberry, in response to the US administration’s stance on Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. The group entered the property in southwest Scotland, painting “Gaza is not (for) sale” on the lawn and spray-painting the clubhouse while digging up the greens, including holes used in Open Championships. Palestine Action denounced Trump’s plans for Gaza, accusing them of constituting war crimes and crimes against humanity. The group emphasized that Trump’s treatment of Gaza as his own property is unacceptable and vowed to resist US-Israeli colonialism in the Palestinian homeland.
In response, Trump Turnberry condemned the actions as a “childish, criminal act” but stated that the vandalism would not impact its operations. Scottish police are investigating the incident, which occurred around 4:40 a.m. The article also highlights Trump’s recent ultimatum to Hamas, where he threatened severe consequences if Israeli hostages were not released.
