Trump version facts: What really came up in the cural fate to Gaza

A surprising claim that the White House spokeswoman, Caroline LewitRaised a storm on social networks and American media. She said last Tuesday, Department of Administration (Doge) Headed Elon Musk She discovered that the US is funded by condoms in the Gaza Strip, in the amount of $ 50 million a year. A thorough examination of several media outlets reveals a completely different image.

“This is a ridiculous waste of taxpayers’ money,” Lewat claimed in her first media briefing, protecting the Trump administration’s decision to freeze outdoor assistance (alongside other US financing plans, even those who directly affect US citizens). President Trump himself has even worn more in a speech (Wednesday), claiming that “we recognized and arrested $ 50 million sent to Gaza to purchase condoms for Hamas.”

According to CNN investigation, a request for the White House spokeswoman to present evidence of this claim, the spokeswoman has referred to the US State Department advertisements. But the state department members had a different version. Instead of repeating the claim for a $ 50 million budget for condoms, the state department generally referred to “illegitimate financing” of $ 102 million to the contractor in Gaza, which included “funds to prevention”, without detailing sums.

The Associated Press revealed that the organization in question is International Medical Corps, which operates two field hospitals in Gaza. In a media statement, the organization made it clear that “US government funding is not used to purchase or distribute condoms.” According to the organization, US funding of $ 68 million is used to save a life of about 33,000 civilians each month, including performing about 30 life-saving surgeries a day, medical treatment at the birth of about 20 babies a day, and operating one of the intensive care units for the only premature premature babies.

The Sunday Times investigation found that in 2023, the American International Development Agency (USAID) allocated $ 60.8 million for contraception all over the world, but that no one dollar came to Gaza. In fact, the entire Middle East received a single shipment of $ 45,680 preventive measures – which came to Jordan.

Jeremy Cunandic, president of the Refugees International and former USAID senior, defined CNN the latest claims regarding condom financing in Gaza as one big tissue (“They Are Making This Sh*T UP”), 5 cents per unit.

Beyond that, as stated in the “Sunday Times” article, it is worth mentioning that funding a contraceptive around the world is not an event that took place only at the time of the Biden administration. In 2019, under the Trump administration, about $ 40 million was allocated for this purpose. In any case, even if the current government criticism is about any such funding towards a state that is not the US -it is precisely at Hamas in Gaza, then it has also been carrying in this “diversity”, or whether new Trump has changed his mind, and became “right” to ” duty”.
