According to White House Press Secretary Karolina Leavitt, millions of dollars were recently withdrawn from” condoms in Gaza” as a result of Secretary of State Marco Rubio‘s recent suspension of foreign aid.
Leaviit made this observation as she was receiving a presentation on a temporary suspension of grants, loans, and other federal assistance programs from the Office of Management and Budget. This pause allows for an assessment to determine if the funding aligns with President Donald Trump’s executive directives, particularly those concerning the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion ( DEI ) initiatives, the Green New Deal, and support for nongovernmental organisations ( NGOs ) deemed contrary to national interests.
” If the task is not in discord with the President’s priorities, it will proceed with no problems. This is similar to how HHS]Department of Health and Human Services ] stopped the flow of give cash to the WHO]World Health Organization] after President Trump announced the U. S. departure from the business. Or how the State Department prevented Gaza from receiving contraception for various million dollars over the weekend, she said in her opening press conference.
That is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money, the statement read. So that’s what this delay is focused on, being fine managers of duty money”, Leavitt told reporters.
She revealed that DOGE and OBM had identified an extra$ 37 million that was intended to be transferred to the WHO prior to Trump’s professional order’s abrupt termination of relations with the global health organization.
In 2020, The Jerusalem Post documented that many contraceptives were being utilised to build IED-carrying balloons, which had slide towards southern Israel, causing problems in education facilities, agricultural areas and motorways.
The release claimed that these explosives, which were brought into Israel by raised contraceptives, destroyed thousands of hectares of landscape and caused “millions of shekels of harm”
