Palestinian Authority calls off vaccine exchange with Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s office, in a joint statement with the defense and health ministries, announced earlier on Friday that Israel had signed an agreement with the Palestinian Authority to provide a million doses of the Pfizer vaccine set to expire soon in exchange for doses that Palestinian officials would provide Israel later this year.
“The arrangement was approved in light of the fact that Israel has a sufficient quantity of vaccines to meet all of its current needs,” Bennett said in a statement.
The Hill has reached out to the Israeli Prime Minister’s and Palestinian Prime Minister’s offices for comment.
