“This is how Gaza will be in the future.” The phrase, published by Israeli’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Gila Gamliel, follows a video made with artificial intelligence (AI) that shows a futuristic Gaza by the sea, full of skyscrapers, tourists and a huge building with the name “Trump”. In the propaganda play, the minister appears alongside former US President Donald Trump and Israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, promoting what would be the “New Middle East Riviera.”
According to Gamliel, the video represents a “possible view” to Gaza, viable only with the “voluntary migration of the residents” – an euphemism for the expulsion of the Palestinian population of the territory. “We are or them,” he said. She claims to have officially presented the plan to the Government Office less than a week after the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023.
The deletion advertising: AI and ethnic cleaning
The video posted by Gamliel follows the same line as another montage already released by Donald Trump in February 2025, under the title “Gaza 2025”. The play shows a fully rebuilt Gaza – and completely emptied of Palestinians. This time, with a golden statue of Trump in the city center, Netanyahu in a pool, and Elon Musk distributing dollars to children on the beach. The soundtrack repeats, “Trump will break free.”
The images are not just allegorical. They illustrate a concrete political project: the definitive removal of all 2.3 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Not to mention the 2.7 million Palestinians from West Bank living under the permanent instability of the violent invasion of 700,000 Israeli settlers. The proposal was presented by Israel and has the enthusiastic support of Trump, who said he wished to “clean” the region, forwarding its inhabitants to neighboring countries, such as Egypt and Jordan.
Since Ia’s videos started circulating with a fictitious Gaza, the Palestinians themselves began to release images of the royal gaza before the war by highlighting their favorite places for leisure, demonstrating how the city was already a beautiful resort full of life and beauties, as seen in the video below:
UN: “Expel Palestinians is war crime”
The proposal generated strong international reaction. The UN Human Rights Agency warned that any attempted mass expulsion would be considered war crime. The Palestinian Arab Federation classified the plan as “scandalous ethnic cleaning”.
The complaint refers to a confidential memorandum of the MISGAV Institute, a center of Israeli studies linked to the Netanyahu government, which leaked in October 2023. The document described the post-attack moment of Hamas as a “rare opportunity” for the definitive relocation of Palestinians in Gaza. Egypt would be the main destination of the displaced people in exchange for massive investments in their economy.
“Concentration Field” in southern Gaza
In practice, cleaning has begun. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced plans to isolate the Palestinian population in a “humanitarian zone” in the ruins of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. The area will be militarily surrounded, and the displaced ones – about 600,000 at the beginning – will be screening to exclude alleged hamas members, as Palestinian men are always classified, even in adolescence. According to the government, all 2 million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip should be tightly transferred to this controlled area.
For the president of the Palestinian Arab Federation in Brazil, Ualid Rabah, the plan resembles a “modern concentration camp”, with absolute control over food, shelter and mobility. “We are now in the final phase of the final solution,” he said, in direct reference to the Holocaust.
An old plan, now out loud
In May 2025, Netanyahu publicly assumed during a meeting in Parliament that Israel’s goal is to make Gaza uninhabitable for the Palestinians. “They will have nowhere to return. The only logical outcome will be the desire for emigration,” said the prime minister, who hopes to find countries willing to receive them.
Since October 2023, the Israeli government had already given orders to the Army to elaborate a “postwar” plan providing for the expulsion of the entire population of the Gaza Strip. The military operation called “Gideon Carriages” consolidated the occupation of about 70% of the territory, with 92% of the buildings destroyed, according to the UN.
“Illegal in the light of international law”
International law experts warn that the planned expulsion of Palestinians is blatantly illegal. Professor Kai Lehmann of USP recalls that the Geneva Convention prohibits the forced displacement of civilians in conflict areas. “What we see is a deliberate attempt at ethnic cleaning,” he says. According to him, this process has been going on for decades in the West Bank, with the expansion of Israeli settlements.
With 1.9 million displaced and more than 57,000 killed in nine months of war, according to data from the Ministry of Health of Gaza, the humanitarian situation is catastrophic. Despite the truce signed in July, Israel prevents continuous entry of humanitarian aid and performs military screenings that restrict civilian movement, often shot as they seek food in Israel -controlled distribution areas.
International diplomats fear that the mass expulsion of Palestinians causes an unprecedented geopolitical crisis. Egypt has already signaled that it will not accept refugees, which may shake Camp David’s historic agreement. There is also concern for new migratory flows toward Europe and a possible resurgence of jihadist terrorism.
