On Wednesday, President Donald Trump provoked outrage when he posted an AI-generated video to his Truth Social platform depicting his plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza and to turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” The video shows Gaza as a luxury beach resort with skyscrapers, palm trees and a golden statue of Trump. Elon Musk makes several appearances, as does a shirtless Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who’s depicted sipping cocktails with Trump on a Gaza beach. Palestinians reacted to Trump’s video with disgust and indignation.
Mohamed Badr: “Since 1948, they have been trying to displace Palestinians. The people are clinging to their land and their homeland, because this is the land of their fathers and grandfathers, and this is the land in which the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque is located. We reject any operation or any thought of displacement.”
