US President Donald Trump has shared an AI-generated video on social media, reimagining Gaza in a bizarre way to promote his controversial vision.
Think Dubai meets Miami, but with a giant golden statue of Trump standing proudly in the center. The former president, never one to shy away from controversy, shared and pinned this video to his Truth Social profile, showcasing everything from Elon Musk dining to men in bikinis, all set against the backdrop of a Trump-branded hotel.
The footage begins with scenes depicting individuals resembling Hamas militants in war-torn ruins, but abruptly shifts to a utopian Gaza—children playing on pristine beaches, a futuristic skyline, luxurious hotels, and crowded urban streets. The video even features Trump dancing in a nightclub and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lounging by a pool.
Accompanying this strange imagery is a song with lyrics that go, "Donald's coming to set you free. Bringing the light for all to see. No more tunnels. No more fear. Trump Gaza is finally here."
This video comes on the heels of Trump's controversial proposal to depopulate Gaza and allow Israel to take control of the area. His remarks have been met with intense backlash, particularly from Arab nations and Palestinian leaders.
Trump has since defended his position, calling it a "recommendation" rather than a mandate. He even told Fox News, "I think that’s the plan that really works," suggesting that under US control, Gaza could be redeveloped and rid of Hamas, turning it into a place where "people would rather live in a nice community."
While Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has praised Trump's proposal, calling it "revolutionary and creative," the plan has been vehemently rejected by Palestinian authorities and neighboring Arab nations.
The Palestinian Authority’s foreign ministry issued a stern statement, declaring that the rights of Palestinians and their land "are not for sale, exchange, or bargaining." Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh condemned the proposal as "absurd," reaffirming that Gaza is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
The attempt to commercialize and privatize the very land that has long been a symbol of resistance for Palestinians is an affront to their struggle for justice and self-determination. Trump's vision only reinforces the urgency of ending the occupation and recognizing the unyielding right of Palestinians to their land and freedom.
