President for life hopeful Donald Trump posted a extremely insensitive AI generated video on social media portraying a future Gaza turned into a Cote d’Azur, with the humble name of “Trump Gaza,” of the Middle East. It’s a juvenile exercise of internet meme culture and is unbecoming of the office of President of the United States (NPR).

More important is the segment that shows Trump and Netanyahu lounging on the beach together. This scene draws Netanyahu into Trump’s absurdity and demeans his office as well. Trump is basically poisoning the image of Netanyahu by attaching it to his own.

Israel has passed a law allowing for the deportation of relatives of October 7 attackers. Netanyahu has said all emigration from Gaza should be “voluntary,” but rights groups and other critics say that the plan amounts to coercion given the territory’s vast destruction (PBS). Egypt and Jordan do not want mass influxes of Palestinians into their nations.

Will the people of Gaza be displaced? Should they be displaced? Either way, in the minds of many, Netanyahu’s image will be attached to Trump’s immature AI generated video.
