US President Donald Trump posted an AI-made video on social media late on Tuesday, the 25th of February, of his vision for the future of the Gaza Strip, or his Gaza “Riviera”, reports Politico.
The bizarre 30-second clip begins with scenes of devastation in the coastal enclave, where the Israeli military, in response to the 7th of October attacks on Israel, carried out a 15-month counter-offensive in an attempt to root out Hamas militants.
The opening scene contains the text “Gaza 2025”. The video then asks the question “What’s next?”.
The video starts with skyscrapers and children running on the beach. Later scenes show Tesla cars driving through the streets and an Elon Musk-like man eating bread that seems to be dipped in hummus.
The shot changes to what appear to be Hamas militants, fully bearded, flirtatiously dancing in bikinis and see-through belly-dancing skirts. Then a child appears with a huge, golden Trump head balloon in his hands.
Trump then dances with a scantily clad woman in a nightclub, while Musk showers people with money. The Trump Gaza building appears, as well as gold-plated Trump merchandise, including statues of the US President.
The video culminates in a huge golden Trump statue and a surreal scene of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lying shirtless by the pool, sipping cocktails and sunbathing.
All this is accompanied by a song that says: “Donald Trump will set you free, bringing the life for all to see, no more tunnels, no more fear, Trump Gaza is finally here. Trump’s Gaza is shining bright, a golden future, a brand-new life. Feast and dance; the deed is done. Trump’s Gaza is number one.”
Trump recently outlined a plan for the US to take over the Gaza Strip and turn it into a “Riviera of the Middle East”.
This proposal provoked huge opposition from key Western and Arab leaders in the region.
