Of all the things that could be used to make bombs, would condoms be at the top of anyone’s list? According to President Donald Trump, that’s exactly what Hamas is doing, and thank God for Trump because he put a stop to it,
President Donald Trump has bizarrely lied that the U.S. was sending $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza that the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas then used to make bombs.
CLAIM: The Trump administration stopped $50 million from being sent to the Gaza Strip to buy condoms for Hamas.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Tuesday, emphasizing the importance of close cooperation to ensure Hamas cannot govern the Gaza Strip again.
The State Department paused several millions of dollars for "condoms in Gaza," as reports say the contraceptives were used as bomb-carrying balloons.

President Donald Trump claimed that his administration had “identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas.”
Both President Trump and his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, have claimed that the administration has stopped a plan to spend $50 million on condoms for Gaza as part of the new administration’s reevaluation of federal funding.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, called the alleged aid “a preposterous waste of taxpayer money.”
There is no evidence that the U.S. earmarked $50 million in condoms to Gaza, or that it has recently spent $50 million on condoms in Gaza. On X, a State Department spokesperson said the freeze stopped $100 million in funding to Gaza which included money for contraception.
