On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video outlining his vision for the future of the Gaza Strip.
The 33-second clip, posted on his Truth Social platform, begins with an image of Gaza in ruins, featuring the text "Gaza 2025," followed by "What's next?" in red, white, and blue.
The video then transitions to show towering skyscrapers, with children gazing upwards as dollar bills rain down. Tech billionaire Elon Musk is shown enjoying hummus on a beach at a newly-developed tourist spot, and a young boy is seen holding a golden balloon with Trump's face on it.
Trump is also depicted dancing in a nightclub, and the entrance to a skyscraper displays the name "Trump Gaza." A large golden statue of Trump is shown, along with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lounging by a pool with Trump, both sipping drinks, and a "Trump Gaza" sign in the background.
The video features a song 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."
Trump has consistently advocated for the U.S. to "take control" of Gaza, which has been heavily damaged by Israeli airstrikes, and to resettle its population in order to transform the area into what he describes as "the Riviera of the Middle East." However, this idea has been opposed by the Arab world and other countries, who consider it a form of ethnic cleansing.
