So Israel isn't taking responsibility for vaccinating Palestinians, fine, but when the PA tries to send 2,000 doses to Gaza, they block the transfer. There's talk the gov. will try and condition provision of vaccines on the return of bodies and captives. This is outrageous.
Israel did provide 2,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine last month to healthcare workers in the West Bank. The PA was trying to send the Sputnik vaccine which they acquired independently, and it was being sent to embattled healthcare workers in Gaza. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/palestinians-israel-blocks-shipment-vaccines-gaza-75909889
A cabinet decisions is expected tomorrow on whether or not to condition the transfer of vaccines to Gaza, following an intense debate between Tzvi Hauser, chairman of Foreign Affairs & Defense Committee and Ofer Cassif (Hadash) and Ahmed Tibi (Ta'al). https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/israel-debates-linking-covid-19-vaccines-for-gaza-with-captive-release-659066
