Palestine Action activists defaced US President Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, spray-painting "Gaza is not for sale" across the clubhouse and greens.

The group targeted his resort in Girvan, South Ayrshire in protest of Trump's widely condemned plans to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza to neighbouring countries.

In addition to the graffiti, several holes on the course were dug up across the golf fields.

Claiming responsibility, Palestine Action said in an online post: "Whilst Trump attempts to treat Gaza as his property, he should know his own property is within reach".

The rebellious act comes amid widespread criticism of Trump's past statements and plans for Gaza, which he once described as a "demolition site".

Trump’s approach to Israel’s war on Gaza sparked international outrage after proposing turning the enclave into a lavish tourist hub, dubbing it the "Riviera of the Middle East".

His Gaza plan included forcibly expelling millions of Palestinians from the enclave, a controversial suggestion that would mean the displacement of at least two million people to neighbouring countries such as Egypt and Jordan.

The blockaded area, which has faced immense suffering under Israeli occupation and bombardment, has seen at least 61,709 Palestinians killed during Israel’s military operations and thousands remain under the rubble.

This proposal was part of his broader Middle East peace plan, which human rights activists and organisations argued it was a thinly veiled attempt to further entrench Israeli control over the region while sidelining Palestinian rights.

In response to the American proposals, Arab leaders announced an Egyptian-crafted alternative that would include a trust fund to pay for Gaza's reconstruction.

On Friday, theÌýOrganisation of Islamic CooperationÌýendorsed theÌýArab League counter-proposal. However, the draft does not outline a role for Hamas, which controls Gaza, and was rejected by both the United States and Israel.

The plan "does not meet the expectations" of Washington, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters on Thursday.
