The Palestinian Authority’s decision to divert some of its tiny stockpile of coronavirus vaccines to senior officials, soccer players and others has sparked controversy. Israel has faced criticism for not sharing its vast stockpile with Palestinians.

FILE - In this Feb. 3, 2021 file photo, a medic administers a Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to a fellow medic during a campaign to vaccinate front-line medical workers, at the health ministry, in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

“We have focused from the beginning on health workers, but there are around 100,000” in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, Health Minister Mai Alkaila told reporters on Tuesday. “It’s not enough.”The Health Ministry says it has secured tens of thousands more doses through a World Health Organization program designed to aid poor countries and through agreements with pharmaceutical companies, but they have yet to materialize following weeks of delays.

Alkaila said 2,000 doses have been shipped to Gaza, which is ruled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas and is under an Israeli-Egyptian blockade. She said another 200 doses have been sent to the royal court in neighboring Jordan, without providing details.

Regarding Israel 🇮🇱:

Screw them both, honestly. They are both disgraces to that land.

Can’t wait until we never hear of Palestinians again.

Didn’t people try to cancel SNL over a joke that precisely described this?

So the Pals decide to vaccinate their corrupt leaders and celebs instead if their grandparents and.....it’s Israel’s fault. Gotcha! AP just became the spokesperson for the UN...

95% only bad news(

Aren't they Israeli's according to Israel?

FFFS

Who would expect Israel to do that? They have them living in an open air prison for heaven’s sake.

Cant lightly criticize the Palestinians without simultaneously shitting on Israel

Oh but criticism of Israel is antisemitic!

Who? This isn’t news!
