Donald Trump has just dropped what might be the most bizarre video of all time—an AI-generated clip reimagining Gaza as a glitzy, futuristic paradise. Picture Dubai meets Miami, but with a giant golden statue of Trump.
Trump who doesn't shy away from quick quips, or taking a jab at world leaders shared and pinned the video on his Truth Social profile.
The video features everything from Elon Musk dining to bearded men in bikinis. Oh, and of course, a Trump-branded hotel—because what’s a

without some prime real estate? The footage begins with scenes of individuals resembling Hamas militants amidst war-torn ruins, abruptly transitioning to images of children frolicking on pristine, Dubai-like beaches.
As the video progresses, viewers are presented with a futuristic Gaza skyline, featuring luxurious hotels and bustling urban landscapes. The video also features Trump dancing in a nightclub setting alongside a woman and the US President and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu relaxing by a pool.
Accompanying these visuals is 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 shining bright, golden future, a brand new life. Taste and dance, the deal is done. Trump, Gaza number one."
This release follows President Trump's earlier controversial proposal for the Gaza Strip. He suggested that the area be depopulated and subsequently taken over by Israel, a stance that faced significant global criticism, particularly from Arab nations. In response to the backlash, Trump clarified that his plan was merely a 'recommendation' rather than an 'enforcement.' Speaking to Fox News, he emphasized his belief in the plan's efficacy: "I'll tell you the way to do it is my plan. I think that's the plan that really works."
Trump elaborated on his vision, stating that under U.S. ownership, the Gaza Strip would be free of Hamas and could be redeveloped from scratch: "That place is not livable. And if you gave people the choice between that and living in a nice community, I think I know where they'd go." He also questioned Israel's 2005 decision to withdraw from Gaza, describing it as "one of the bad real estate deals."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed support for Trump's proposal, lauding it as "revolutionary and creative." In a joint press conference at the White House, Netanyahu referred to Trump as "the greatest friend Israel has ever had."
However, the plan has been met with staunch opposition from Palestinian authorities and neighboring Arab states. The Palestinian Authority's foreign ministry declared, "The rights of our people and our land are not for sale, exchange, or bargaining." Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh dismissed Trump's remarks as "absurd," emphasizing that Gaza is "an integral part of our occupied Palestinian land."
