Welcome to ‘Trump Gaza’

To Donald Trump. The president has shared a rather interesting video on his Truth Social platform, depicting an AI-generated Palestine with the caption: “Gaza 2025… What’s next?” The president has hinted before about how his nation could rebuild the country — and this generation appears to show just how he expects that project to turn out…

A computerized version of the Middle Eastern country — which, according to Sky News was first shared in early February with no apparent connection to the White House — shows the area transformed into an exotic haven filled with beaches, skyscrapers, yachts and parties. From a “Trump Gaza” tower to a huge statue of the US leader, no expense appears to have been spared in the rather bizarre video. Elon Musk, the tech billionaire owner of X and leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, pops up a number of times in the footage — with the US businessman seen enjoying humous and flatbreads on the beach and walking through a mist of dollars.

Trump himself features a rather lot — whether he’s sipping cocktails with Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, or dancing with a scantily-clad belly dancer in a nightclub. In the background, a song about the president plays, with the lyrics noting:

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.

It comes after the president had Netanyahu visit as the first foreign leader to the White House earlier this year. After the meet, Trump held a press conference in which he declared that the US would “take over” Gaza, adding:

Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing, and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent in a really magnificent area that nobody would know. Nobody can look because all they see is death and destruction and rubble and demolished buildings falling all over. It’s just a terrible, terrible sight. I’ve studied it. I’ve studied this very closely over a lot of months, and I’ve seen it from every different angle. And it’s a very, very dangerous place to be, and it’s only going to get worse. 

Surprising. Will Trump’s dream vision of Palestine transpire? Watch this space…
