Donald Trump recently posted an AI-created video on his social media site, Truth Social, depicting a vision of the future for post-war Gaza. The video, Gaza 2025, What Next?, depicts a surreal makeover of the devastated region into a shining city called Trump Gaza.
The images show towering golden statues of Trump amidst skyscrapers, with his co-worker, billionaire business magnate Elon Musk, walking under a shower of money. Trump is also featured sunbathing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, sipping on a beverage. Markets are lined with small replicas of his golden statues, further emphasizing the opulent theme.
Tuned to an AI-composed song in Trump's praise—"Donald is coming to set you free, bringing the light for all to see. No more tunnels, no more fear, Trump Gaza is finally here."—the video begins by displaying Gaza at war after the war with Israel. Children are then shown entering a futuristic cityscape replicating the Dubai skyline shortly afterwards.
Elon Musk is seen several times throughout the 33-second video, first eating, then dancing, and then walking in money that is falling from the sky. A kid is also seen with a golden Trump-faced balloon in his hand, and AI-synthesized Trump himself dancing with a woman. His name on skyscrapers is clearly marked, re-emphasizing Trump Gaza branding.
The release of the video is at a time when there is a continuing ceasefire deal between Gaza and Israel, under a three-stage agreement that has seen prisoners and hostages exchange. The war, which took over 15 months, saw massive casualties—over 48,000 dead in Gaza, mostly women and children, as reported by the ministry of health in the region. Israel also incurred massive losses, with more than 1,200 individuals murdered during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led assault that originally precipitated the conflict.
