1️⃣Israel delivered vaccines to Palestine: what’s the angle?
以色列向巴勒斯坦提供新冠疫苗：狼回頭？
Israel delivered 2,000 doses of Moderna’s covid-19 vaccine to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Israel has raced ahead with vaccinations; almost 20% of its population have received both shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab. But there has been no vaccination programme in either the West Bank or Gaza. Israel has promised to share 5,000 jabs, though the Palestinian territories have a population of more than 4m.
以色列向其佔領之 (約旦河) 西岸 (West Bank) 的巴勒斯坦人提供兩千劑的莫德納 (Moderna) 新冠疫苗。以色列加快了此類疫苗之接種步伐，幾乎已有兩成的人口都已注射了輝瑞 (Pfizer) 與 (德國生技公司) BioNTech 所共同研發之新冠疫苗。但無論是 (約旦河) 西岸或是加薩走廊 (Gaza) 都還沒有疫苗接種的計畫。儘管巴勒斯坦 (自身) 的領土已有超過四百萬人口，以色列仍承諾將分享五千劑的新冠疫苗。
