A pro-Palestine group has vandalised parts of Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland.<\/p>\n
Palestine Action posted photographs on social media showing red paint daubed across one of the buildings at the Ayrshire course.<\/p>\n
The words “Gaza is not for sale” are sprayed across one green and another green appears to have been dug up. <\/p>\n
A further photograph shows a damaged lamp post at the resort owned by the Trump Organisation. A spokesperson said it was a “childish, criminal act”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Police Scotland confirmed it was investigating the incident.<\/p>\n
President Trump caused widespread international criticism after repeatedly proposing to empty the Gaza strip of all Palestinians and turn the area into a resort.<\/p>\n
He proposed taking ownership of the Gaza Strip and redeveloping it, after saying earlier that Palestinians should move out of the region.<\/p>\n
“The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said during a joint conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Trump made the comments after meeting with the Israeli leader at the White House. Netanyahu responded, saying the idea is “worth paying attention to”.<\/p>\n
The US president has previously said neighbouring nations could take in displaced Palestinians from Gaza – a proposal that was rejected by Arab nations.<\/p>\n
The president later posted an AI video<\/a> of what Gaza might look like under his proposals.<\/p>\n Turnberry is widely rated as one of the top five golf courses in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n It has hosted The Open Championship four times, including in 1977 when Tom Watson beat Jack Nicklaus in what famously became known as the “Duel In The Sun”.<\/p>\n But it has not been included on the Open schedule since Trump bought the resort in 2014.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Turnberry resort underwent a massive refurbishment after it was bought from a Dubai-based company in 2014.<\/p>\n It became the organisation’s second golf resort in Scotland. Trump International Golf Links opened north of Aberdeen in 2012, after years of controversy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trump was moved to build a course in Scotland as a tribute to his later mother, who was born and brought up in Lewis.<\/p>\n
