AI-Generated Video of Trump and Netanyahu Shirtless on a Beach in Gaza Promoting Development Plan Shocks Users: 'Completely Insane'

An AI-generated video shared by President Donald Trump, depicting himself and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shirtless on a Gaza beach as part of a controversial development plan, has shocked the internet.

On Tuesday night, Trump posted a 30-second AI-generated video on his Truth Social account that reimagines Gaza as a glitzy beachside paradise. The video begins with scenes of destruction before transitioning into surreal imagery: golden Trump statues, Elon Musk eating hummus, bearded dancers in bikinis and Trump and Netanyahu lounging shirtless by a pool.

The accompanying song proclaims, "Donald Trump will set you free," promoting the president's vision for a "Trump Gaza" that is free of Hamas.

The video immediately drew criticism, with many calling it "bizarre" and "completely insane."

Critics noted its insensitive portrayal of a humanitarian crisis, as well as the absurd juxtaposition of war imagery with over-the-top luxury.

Since Israel's war against Hamas escalated in 2023, Gaza has been left in devastation. Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of transforming the war-torn strip into a luxury resort destination, proposing that the U.S. "take over" and develop it into the "Riviera of the Middle East," CNN reported.

Trump's plan includes the forced displacement of Gaza's 2.1 million Palestinian residents, a proposal widely condemned by Arab leaders and human rights organizations as a violation of international law.

Despite backlash, Trump remains firm on his stance, though he claims he is "not forcing it." Meanwhile, U.S. and Israeli officials continue negotiations regarding the ceasefire and the fate of Gaza's governance.
