Trump’s ‘$50m in condoms’ claim. Is he thinking of the wrong Gaza?

United States President Donald Trump has boasted that his administration had stopped $50m in bomb-making condoms from being sent to Gaza.

Trump provided no evidence for his claims – that condoms were being sent to Gaza or that Hamas was using contraceptives to make bombs – and left many people wondering what the US president was talking about.

But perhaps there is an explanation. A bizarre one.

Could it be that Trump and his administration were referring to a different Gaza?
