Palestinians release AI-generated video countering Trump's vision of Gaza
Gaza: A Palestinian digital media platform has released an AI-generated video in response to US President Donald Trump's controversial depiction of an American-owned Gaza. The video, shared by SahatEnglish on 'X', carries the message, "A message to #Trump: #Gaza will always be Palestinian!"
The video mirrors the format of Trump's AI-generated clip, which had sparked backlash for portraying a Westernised Gaza under US influence. It begins with a similar opening phrase, "Gaza 2025, What Next?" but presents a different vision. The first scene shows a Palestinian child offering flowers to a member of Hamas' Al Qassam Brigades amid the ruins. It then shifts to footage resembling real-life scenes of Palestinians returning to northern Gaza after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement.
The video further envisions a thriving Gaza with its cultural heritage intact, showcasing mosques, tall buildings, and young Palestinians performing the traditional dabkeh dance on the beach. This scene appears to be a direct response to Trump's video, which included bearded belly dancers. Additionally, a Palestinian child is shown holding an 'I love Gaza' balloon, seemingly countering a similar shot in Trump's video, where a child held a Trump balloon.
A rock song plays in the background with lyrics asserting, "Gaza is ours... no matter who, no matter how, we stand unshaken. We are here, we will remain, Gaza rises through the pain." The video also portrays Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a negative light—Trump and Netanyahu are depicted wearing prison uniforms, visibly frustrated, while Musk appears distressed amid a stock market collapse.
The Palestinian flag is prominently displayed in the final scenes, symbolising resistance and resilience. The video quickly gained traction on social media, with many users expressing admiration for its message. "Love this! I will definitely be visiting," commented one user. Another remarked, "Despite living through a genocide and losing generations to Israel's assault, young Gazans knew how to respond to Trump's AI video in a befitting way."

Dubai (PTI): India opener Sanju Samson was on Tuesday named ICC Men's Player of the Month for March, capping a stellar run that saw him play a defining role in the team's triumphant T20 World Cup campaign.
Samson did not get to play in the early part of the tournament but was the standout performer in the big games towards the end and helped India retain the title.
His latest honour also extends a unique streak, with players from different countries winning the award over the past five months including South Africa's Simon Harmer, Australia's Mitchell Starc, New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell and Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan.
"Winning the ICC Player of the Month award is an incredible feeling, especially as it comes during what has been the most unforgettable phase of my cricketing journey. Playing a part in India's triumph at the Men's T20 World Cup was truly a dream realised, and it took some time for the magnitude of that moment to fully sink in," Samson said.
"This is an exciting era for Indian cricket, with immense talent across the board. I feel grateful for the opportunities I've received, and for the trust and support from my team-mates and coaching staff that have allowed me to perform at my best."
Not a regular part of the playing XI in the initial stages of the tournament, Samson was eventually called up for India's must-win Super 8 fixtures. After starting off with 24 against Zimbabwe, he picked form and didn't look back.
The opener missed out on a century against the West Indies by just three runs, but his attacking 97 not out set up India's spot in the semifinal.
A blistering 89 against England at the Wankhede helped India to 253 for 7, and the target proved elusive for the English who missed out by seven runs on March 5.
An equally amazing 89 was churned out during India's successful title defence in Ahmedabad, securing a 96-run win.
In the three crucial T20Is he was a part of in March, Samson notched up 275 runs at an astonishing average of 137.50 and a stunning strike rate of 199.27.
This is the first time that Samson has secured an ICC Men's Player of the Month honour.
New Zealand captain Melie Kerr won the women's honour for the third time, after an outstanding series against Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Taking over the white-ball teams from Sophie Devine, Kerr's captaincy seemed to have brought out the best in her with both the ball and the bat. In the Zimbabwe ODI series, she managed to snap 16 wickets in just three matches, including her career-best figures of 7/34.
Additionally, she also contributed with the bat, being the third highest run-scorer in the ODIs, scoring 140 runs across three games with an average of 46.67 in the counting month.
