Trump Admin Holding First Ever Direct Talks With Hamas: Report

Pro-Palestinian protesters have vandalized parts of U.S. President Donald Trump‘s golf course in Scotland in response to his proposal for the reconstruction of Gaza.
Red paint was daubed on the floor and buildings of the Trump Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire, and “Gaza is not for sale” was painted across the lawn along with insults directed at the president.
When contacted for comment, Palestine Action told Newsweek it had carried out the action in response to the Trump administration’s plans “to destroy, ethnically cleanse, and ‘take over’ the Palestinian Gaza Strip.”
Newsweek has contacted the Trump Turnberry for comment.
Why It Matters
A war between Israel and Hamas—which began on October 7, 2023, with the militant group’s attack on southern Israel—has reduced most of Gaza to rubble.
In January, a ceasefire came into effect, and discussions are underway over the future of the area. Trump sparked outrage last month when he suggested an ambitious reconstruction project that would transform Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
His plan involves relocating 2 million Palestinians in Gaza to neighboring Arab nations while construction firms clear the bombed-out buildings. Arab state leaders have met in Cairo to discuss Gaza’s future, and the vandalism of Trump’s golf course shows the extent of the anger felt toward his proposal.
