President Trump's recent claim about stopping $50 million in condoms from reaching Gaza has raised eyebrows due to the lack of supporting evidence. During a discussion about his administration's accomplishments, Trump alleged that Hamas was using these condoms for bomb-making, which sparked confusion and skepticism. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed this statement, framing the supposed aid as a waste of taxpayer money. Critics have noted the bizarre nature of the assertion and the absence of concrete evidence backing it, questioning the rationale behind such claims in the context of U.S. foreign aid policies.
Trump made the contraceptive claim while listing his administration's accomplishments since coming into office. We identified and stopped $50m being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas, Trump said on Wednesday.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, made a similar claim on Tuesday during her debut news briefing. She stated that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza.
