Trump shares AI video of his vision for Gaza's future

The footage, which heavily features billionaire Elon Musk, shows the enclave turned into a getaway similar to nearby Gulf states. Who will enjoy this new location? Trump is seen poolside with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, raising concerns that the 'Riviera' plan is an effort to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza, then allow Israel to annex it.

US President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video on Wednesday depicting his vision for the future of the Gaza Strip, Anadolu has reported. The 33-second video, which Trump shared on his social media platform Truth Social, opens with a scene of Gaza in ruins, displaying the inscription “Gaza 2025” in green, followed by “What’s next?” in red, white and blue.

The video then showcases towering skyscrapers and children gazing upward as dollar bills fall from the sky. Tech billionaire Elon Musk is seen enjoying hummus on a beach in the newly-developed tourist destination, and a young boy is seen holding a golden balloon featuring Trump’s face.

The video also features Trump dancing in a nightclub, while the entrance to a skyscraper displays the inscription “Trump Gaza” prominently. A massive golden statue of Trump is also showcased.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears lounging on a deck chair beside Trump, both sipping beverages near a swimming pool, with “Trump Gaza” visible in the background.

A song can be heard playing with the lyrics, “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. Trump Gaza’s shining bright, golden future, a brand-new light, feast and dance, the deal is done, Trump Gaza number one.”

The US president has repeatedly called for the US to “take over” Gaza, destroyed by Israel’s relentless genocide, and resettle its population to redevelop the enclave into the “Riviera of the Middle East”.

The idea has been rejected vehemently by the Arab world and other nations, who say it amounts to ethnic cleansing.
