United States President Donald Trump recently shared a video on the Instagram social network that caused a lot of discussion. The film, apparently generated by artificial intelligence, imagines the future of the Gaza Strip as a prosperous and modern tourist destination, in contrast to the current destruction of Palestinian territory.
The video begins with desolate images of today’s Gaza, with adults and children walking between rubble near the sea. However, the tone changes quickly to show what Trump imagines as a possible future for the region: a vibrant bathing resort, with modern buildings, hotels and other elements typical of a luxury tourist destination.
Among the scenes comes businessman Elon Musk, Trump’s friend and counselor, on a beach in Gaza, eating and shooting money notes, while dancers perform belly dance. The video also includes images of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, generated by AI, where both appear in night club scenarios and next to a pool in a luxury environment.
This type of content, mixing reality and fiction, has generated discussions about the political and social implications of Trump’s vision for the Gaza Strip, with many questioning the tone and impact of the message.
