Israel is blocking COVID-19 vaccines (procured by the PA) from entering the occupied Gaza Strip. Here's Israeli politician Michal Cotler-Wunsh (Irwin Cotler's daughter) arguing that Israel has an "obligation" to make vaccine access conditional on political concessions from Hamas. https://twitter.com/CotlerWunsh/status/1361553730701848577
And so, not only has Israel failed to fulfil its legal obligations as an occupying power to supply Palestinians with vaccines, but it is exploiting Israel's control over Gaza's access to vaccines to use as a political bargaining chip. This is a war crime.
This is evil. Gaza has 2 million people, and it hasn't yet received a single vaccine dose. But Cotler-Wunsh is so proud of her position (in favour of blocking access to vaccines for political reasons) that she re-released her tweet in English.
By the way, she's taken similar positions about medical aid to Palestinians under Israeli occupation before. As Israeli columnist Gideon Levy put it, "Where to begin? With the stupidity? The ignorance? The evil? The lack of humanity?" https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-what-a-surprise-even-a-proud-liberal-zionist-scion-can-be-a-racist-1.9252904
