Watch | Golden statute, strip club, and Netanyahu by pool: Donald Trump shares bizarre AI video of Gaza

Tesla CEO and Trump confidante Elon Musk walks through showers of cash, and children gaze upward as dollar bills rain from the sky — this is the United States President’s vision for Gaza. (Screengrab)

The video begins by showing Gaza’s current state — war-torn and covered in rubble, heavily bombarded by Israeli jets following the October 7, 2023 attack. However, as the citizens shift their gaze, the scene changes to a transformed city flaunting yachts docked along the coast, luxury cars on its streets, a skyscraper that resembles the Empire State Building, and a colossal golden statue of Donald Trump.

In the video, a song can be heard in the backdrop, whose lyrics go, “Donald’s coming to set you free, bringing the light for all to see, no more tunnels, no more fear: Trump Gaza’s finally here/ Trump Gaza’s shining bright, golden future, a brand new life/ Feast and dance the deal is done, Trump Gaza number one.”

The video also shows a smiling Elon Musk enjoying a meal on the beach, a boy holding a golden balloon shaped like Trump’s face, and the US President dancing in a nightclub. In the middle of the city, a massive building adorned with a “Trump Gaza” sign shows his influence, while a shop selling Trump miniatures as souvenirs further reaffirms his dominance. At the end, however, the video shows Trump and Netanyahu relaxing by a pool in beach outfits, sipping on summer coolers.

During a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the US, Trump reiterated that the ongoing ceasefire-hostage deal between Israel and Hamas will be the “beginning of a larger and more enduring peace.”

Trump’s remarks drew a lot of criticism globally with several leaders condemning the idea to take over the Palestinian land. Calling Trump’s plan “ridiculous and absurd,” senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said they consider the plan a “recipe for generating chaos and tension in the region.”

Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Secretary-General Hussein al-Sheikh said the PLO rejects all calls for the displacement of the Palestinians from their homeland, according to Al Jazeera report. In a post on X, he said, “The Palestinian leadership affirms its firm position that the two-state solution, in accordance with international legitimacy and international law, is the guarantee of security, stability and peace.”

Saudi Arabia also reiterated its support for an independent Palestinian state and said that it would not have diplomatic ties with Israel until the creation of such a state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
