‘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.’

Trump announced his intention in February for US ‘ownership’ of the war-torn territory and said he wanted to ‘clean out that whole thing’.

The US president posted an AI video on Truth Social last week, advertising his plans for the Strip, which showed himself and Israel’s president Benjamin Netanyahu, shirtless, drinking at the ‘Trump Gaza’ resort.

Trump also threatened Gaza with further violence if the remaining Israeli hostages are not released.

He said on Truth Social: ‘To the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do , you are dead’.

Trump purchased the 119-year-old Turnberry resort in April 2019.

He then vowed to spend £200million renovating the property.

Turnberry is one of 10 venues which are on the rota to hold the Open Championship, but has gone the longest without a return visit.
