Pro-Palestinian Activist Vandalizes Historic Balfour Portrait

An anti-Israel protester vandalized a 1914 painting of British politician Arthur James Balfour, who supported the creation of the Jewish state, at the University of Cambridge's Trinity College. The act was claimed by Palestine Action and aimed to symbolize the Palestinian suffering since the Balfour Declaration in 1917. The organization's action was in response to the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas. Trinity College expressed regret over the damage, and the police are investigating the incident.
