It appears that this Heather person is using unrelated condoms for Africa as an argument for continuing to provide condoms for Gaza. AFAIK, the Africans are using the condoms for their intended purpose and there is no initiative to scale back because that program is immensely successful.

No. She's pointing out that Leavitt was wrong when she said the $50 million was going to Gaza, when instead it was going to Africa (and was going mostly to non-condom spending). So either the Administration is not cutting those funds going to Africa, or they are cutting them even though those funds are being used for their intended purpose and the program is immensely successful. Which would undercut Leavitt's argument that this is an example of the Trump administration was being "good stewards of tax dollars" - either there was no cut, or they cut a program which was working.

There's no drawing of equivalence between Africa policy and Hamas policy. Heathers's pointing out that it was Leavitt who got the destination countries wrong, not herself drawing any link or equivalence between them.
