The Israeli minister posted an AI-generated video of X's redeveloped Gaza on Tuesday.
A post by Gira Gamriel, the Likud Party's Minister of Science and Technology, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, echoed the vision of President Donald Trump's creation of another AI in Gaza as a beachside resort in February.
The post began on October 7, 2023 with a video of the attack on Israel, then moved to the sight of faint skyscrapers rising from the tile ble on the streets of Gaza. Later in the video, you can see AI versions of Netanyahu and Trump walking along the imaginary city coastline with their spouses.
“This is what Gaza will look like in the future,” Gamriel wrote in the caption that accompanied the video. “The voluntary immigrants of Gazan – only with Trump and Netanyahu. It's us or them.”
Gamriel also included a PDF of the future plans for the Gaza Strip that it claimed to have been submitted to Israel's security cabinet on October 13, 2023.
The proposal includes three future options for Gaza following Israeli attacks in the region. It allows Gaza's population to remain in the region, but revives the rules of Palestinian authority. Local “non-Islamist Arab leaders along with Israeli military control.” Or promote “voluntary immigration” for Palestinians – a preferred option for Gamriel.
The concept of removing Palestinians from Gaza is nothing new to the politics of Israel's continued attacks in the region. In May, Netanyahu said at a press conference he would not end the war in Gaza without encouraging voluntary migration from the territory of what he called the “Trump Plan,” referring to Trump's previous statement that “all” Palestinians should leave permanently.
But while leaders have brought the idea to the fore, forced migration under international law is illegal, and the goal of “voluntary immigration” for Palestinians in the region has been hit with widespread protests from major US Jewish groups.
Ganliel's post is playing 21 months to end the war in Gaza as Netanyahu faces increased pressure from the White House. Earlier this month, Netanyahu met with Trump to discuss ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire, but left without an announcement about a potential deal.
