President shared an artificial intelligence-generated video featuring Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu outlining his vision for the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’. Donald Trump shared a bizarre video that appears to unveil “what’s next” for the Gaza Strip, including the president and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drinking cocktails and lounging topless beside a pool.
Late Tuesday evening, Trump took to Truth Social to reveal his brazen vision for the region in a 35-second AI-generated clip. After a montage of children running through the desolate city's ruins, “Gaza 2025” followed by “What’s Next?,” appears on the screen in bold, red, white and blue letters.
In the next clip, cranes and building work dominate the skyline before, eventually, palm trees and full skyscrapers spring up with yachts left moored in the bay. “No more troubles, no more fear, Trump’s Gaza is finally here,” blares the backing track over the montage of Gaza being regenerated. Gold busts and statues of the president and the words “Trump Gaza” appear everywhere around the city.
A smiling Elon Musk AI lookalike dips bread into fondue, before later eating a pizza. He also appears in several clips with dollar bills cascading from the sky. A group of bearded, long-haired belly dancers performing on the beach. Trump, who is wearing a full suit, is then seen dancing with – and ogling at – a belly dancer inside a hall.
In arguably the most bizarre clip, Trump and Netanyahu lounge beside the pool wearing only a small pair of trunks and sipping on cocktails, surrounded by lavish apartment blocks. Trump has been met with a mixture of support, dissent and outright confusion after vowing to transform the war-torn territory from a “hell hole” to the “Riviera of the Middle East” during a White House press conference on February 4 that even took Netanyahu by surprise.
Without ruling out military intervention, the president declared that the U.S. would “own” Gaza, which has seen vast destruction and around 47,000 deaths in the 15-month conflict between Israel and Hamas. Trump also suggested millions of displaced Palestinians resettle in “areas where the leaders currently say no.”.
The president claimed that “everybody” he had spoken to about the plan “loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent.”. Lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle have decried the proposal as amounting to ethnic cleansing under international law. However, several of his MAGA faithful have praised his plans to “Make Gaza Beautiful Again”.
In response to the backlash, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump was thinking outside the box. “President Trump is an outside-of-the-box thinker and a visionary leader who solves problems that many others, especially in this city, claim are unsolvable,” she said.
