Joe Biden Gave $50 Million To Gaza For Condoms?
Donald Trump's controversial policies on Gaza and immigration have sparked debates, while Selena Gomez's emotional video about deportations has divided public opinion.
In recent political updates, the world is reacting strongly to new decisions made by the U.S. government under President Donald Trump. Trump, who promised to bring an end to global conflicts such as the Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine wars, is taking controversial steps that have raised many eyebrows.
One of the most talked-about topics is the recent revelation about the Biden government distributing condoms worth $50 million (?433 Crore) in Gaza. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized this move, calling it “a complete waste of taxpayer money.” This information came from a report by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is managed by Elon Musk.

The question many are asking is why this money was spent on condoms instead of essential items like food, weapons, or aid for the war-torn region. To add to the controversy, a strange story from 2018 resurfaced. Back then, reports claimed that Hamas militants were using “flaming condoms” to attack Israel. These condoms were filled with inflammable gases and launched as balloons towards Israel, some of which contained explosives. The attacks caused deaths and injuries among Israeli citizens. This caused concern as the small size of the balloons made it difficult for Israel’s Iron Dome defense system to shoot them down.
It was later revealed that the condoms were not distributed to the general public but were used by Hamas to attack Israel. This raised questions about how the U.S. government’s funds were being used in Gaza, and President Trump has now vowed to stop such aid in the future. Many people in Israel are happy with this decision, as they feel the money was misused.
President Trump is also expected to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the U.S. as his first guest after becoming president. He has also promised to take strong actions against Hamas and Palestine supporters in the U.S. It remains to be seen how these promises will unfold in the coming months.
In another update, pop star Selena Gomez has sparked a huge reaction on social media after posting an emotional video. In the video, she is seen crying and apologizing for the situation of illegal immigrants in the U.S., especially children who might be deported. Her video was shared on Instagram, where she expressed her sorrow and frustration, saying, "I just wanted to say that I am so sorry. All my people are being hurt, even the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I wish I could help, but I don’t know how. I’ll do my best, I promise." She also posted the Mexican flag with the message "I’m sorry."
Selena's grandparents were originally from Mexico, and her emotional video, where she seemed devastated by the potential deportations, quickly went viral. However, it also received mixed reactions. Some people supported her, especially her fans who understood her connection to Mexico and her family’s immigrant background. One fan said, "People laughing at her are disgusting. Her people, including children, are being deported. She has the right to cry."
On the other hand, some critics, like journalist Megyn Kelly, criticized Selena for "forcing" her emotions. Kelly said, “Anyone who records themselves crying like that isn’t well. Tears happen, but forcing extra tears to look sadder is just strange.” Others questioned why Selena didn't focus on legal pathways for immigration.
Despite the backlash, many supporters defended Selena, expressing that it is okay for her to show empathy for people who are suffering. One fan tweeted, "This is heartbreaking. Can’t you let the woman express her emotions?"
Selena later posted another message on her Instagram Stories, saying, "Apparently it’s not okay to show empathy for people," but she deleted it soon after.
It’s clear that both Trump’s policies and Selena’s emotional reaction have sparked strong debates across the globe. As these events unfold, the world watches closely to see how the political landscape will continue to change.
