Donald Trump has shared a vision for his takeover of Gaza, complete with golden statues of himself and a tower bearing his name.
The US president posted an AI-generated video on his Truth Social account which depicts Gaza filled with beaches, luxury yachts and Dubai-style skyscrapers.
The footage begins with footage of the war-torn territory overlaid with the question: “Gaza 2025… What’s Next?”
The area, apparently renamed “Trump Gaza”, is then shown transformed into a beach resort with children and adults running and playing down the coastline and ritzy hotels.
Trump is depicted dancing in a nightclub with a woman wearing a dress that exposes her buttocks, and sunbathing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as they sip cocktails.
A giant golden statue of the US President can be seen on the street, with miniature golden statues of him for sale in a souvenir shop.
A child walks down the street holding a golden balloon in the shape of Trump’s head, and a large “Trump Gaza” tower is depicted.
Billionaire Elon Musk, who leads the US Department of Government Efficiency, is shown throwing dollar bills in the air as smiling children try to catch them.
Elsewhere, the Tesla chief executive eats hummus and flatbreads as bearded belly dancers perform on the beach.
It is unknown who created the video. Sky News reported that it had previously been shared by accounts unrelated to Trump.
A song plays in the background, 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’s shining bright, golden future, a brand new life.
“Feast and dance the deal is done, Trump Gaza number one.”
Trump announced his plan to develop the territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East” earlier this year.
He said he wanted to relocated two million Gazans to neighbouring Arab countries, stating: “The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too.”
He said America would be “responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site”, before it would “get rid of the destroyed buildings” and “level it out”.
“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs,” he added.
The White House described the proposal as “out-of-the-box” and “visionary” – but it was criticised as the effective “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians from Gaza.
