The official Instagram account of former U.S. President Donald Trump has recently posted an unusual, AI-generated video showcasing his vision for the Gaza Strip. This clip portrays the war-torn region being transformed into a vibrant nightlife destination, complete with hotels, cafes, shops, and an idyllic beach.
Accompanying the footage is an electronic dance music track featuring lyrics such as, “Donald Trump will set you free… no more tunnels, no more fear. Trump Gaza is finally here,” which promotes an optimistic vision for what he labels “Trump Gaza.” The video showcases animated sequences of golden statues of Trump and includes an AI-generated appearance of Elon Musk and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Though the video lacks an official caption, it elicited a wave of reactions before comments were disabled. Critics expressed their disapproval, with one user stating, “I literally voted for you so you’d keep us out of global conflict. I feel betrayed,” and another calling it “a terrible idea.”
Earlier this month, Trump proposed that displaced Palestinians be permanently resettled outside Gaza and suggested that the United States should take an active role in the area’s redevelopment. He made these remarks alongside Netanyahu during a press conference but did not elaborate on the implications for Palestinians who might be forced to flee.
The idea of relocating Gazans has faced significant opposition from various Middle Eastern nations, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and the Arab League, as well as from the Palestinian Authority.
