London:
Pro-Palestinian graffiti was found at US President Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, with a protest group taking responsibility for the vandalism.
Images circulating in local media showed red paint with slogans such as “Free Gaza,” “Free Palestine,” and insults against Trump on the walls of the course. Additionally, “Gaza is not for sale” was painted on one of the greens, and holes were dug up on the course.
The group Palestine Action claimed responsibility for the damage, stating on social media, “Whilst Trump attempts to treat Gaza as his property, he should know his own property is within reach.”

Last month, Trump sparked controversy by announcing plans for the United States to take over Gaza, relocate its Palestinian population, and transform it into the “Riviera of the Middle East,” causing outrage in the Arab world.
Police Scotland confirmed they are investigating the incident, stating, “Around 4.40am on Saturday, 8 March, 2025, we received a report of damage to the golf course and a premises on Maidens Road, Turnberry.” Enquiries are ongoing.
In a separate incident on the same day, a man waving a Palestinian flag climbed the Big Ben tower at London’s Palace of Westminster.
