Palestinian solidarity activists have vandalised Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland in response to his proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza and transform the area into a tourist destination. Palestine Action, the group behind the protest, said on Saturday that the action was “in response to the American administration’s plans and threats to destroy, ethnically cleanse, and ‘take over’ the Palestinian Gaza Strip”.

Palestine Action struck overnight to wreck the ‘Trump Turnberry’ golf course, in response to the American administration’s plans and threats to destroy, ethnically cleanse, and ‘take over’ the Palestinian Gaza Strip.

After entering the 800-acre resort, activists painted in threemetre-high letters “GAZA IS NOT FOR SALE” across the lawn of the South Ayrshire course. Making the popular opposition to Trump’s intentions clear, activists spray painted the club house and dug up the greens including the course’s most prestigious holes – used in numerous Open Championships.

A spokesperson from Palestine Action said: “Palestine Action rejects Donald Trump’s treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes. To make that clear, we have shown him that his own property is not safe from acts of resistance. We will continue to take action against US-Israeli colonialism in the Palestinian homeland.”

A representative for Trump Turnberry condemned the incident as a “childish, criminal act” and insisted that it would not disrupt operations. Scottish police confirmed that an investigation is underway.

Trump floated the idea of relocating Gaza’s population and redeveloping the area in February. His plan to transform the enclave into a luxury tourist destination, to be known as the “Riviera of the Middle East”, involves moving more than two million Palestinians to neighbouring Arab countries. He previously shared an AI-generated video promoting “Trump Gaza”, which depicts a

resort featuring himself alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and tech billionaire Elon Musk. The proposal was widely condemned by Palestinian leaders. Arab nations warned it would “pour oil on the fire in the region”.

More than 48,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed over the last year and a half according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, with around 70 per cent of the buildings in northern Gaza damaged or destroyed, rendering large parts of the territory uninhabitable.
