Palestinians cancel Pfizer vaccine agreement with Israel [CNN is fake news]

Jerusalem (CNN)The Palestinian Authority has canceled an agreement with Israel that was to have seen at least 1 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine for Covid-19 transferred to the West Bank and Gaza.

The abrupt turnaround came after health officials in Ramallah inspected the first delivery of almost 90,000 doses Friday afternoon, the Palestinian Health Minister said.

''It was found that the doses did not conform to the technical specifications as previously agreed upon, and that their expiry date was close,'' minister Mai Alkaila said, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.

But they were criticized for failing to provide vaccines to cover Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, which under the Geneva Conventions Israel is obliged to do.

Israel argued that it was relieved of those obligations by the Oslo Accords, signed by Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the 1990s, which allocate responsibility for medical care provision to the Palestinian Authority.

Instructive piece of propaganda from CNN. The Oslo Accords are a clear fact, every bit as clear and checkable as the Geneva Convention. In fact, I just googled it and found that exactly what Israel says is true. But CNN still stated the Palestinian argument as fact and the Israeli side as "Israel says". I'll provide the relevant text from the Oslo Accords in the comments.

by the way, there should be an “...” before “But they were criticized” since that is later in the article.

They’re somehow punishing Israel by not jabbing their populace?

C’mon, now, junior. Eat your spinach.

No. It’s yucky.

You’ll never be strong like Popeye.

Good. I hate Olive Oyle. She’s a girl.

When the Israelis reach out to help the Palestinians, they don’t expect gratitude, so they’re never disappointed. They’re realists, and seek only to serve God.

So, either the CCP-coronavirus isn’t really that serious or, the Palis in power are happy to have a number of their people die, for the sake of propaganda...

...reality is, BOTH ARE TRUE.

In this case the deal was apparently for Israel to dump about to expire vaccines on the Palestinians, with the Palestinians in turn to have vaccines with later expirations sent to Israel in the fall. The Palestinian claim at least is that upon receipt the vaccines were dated to expire in June, which they say was earlier than agreed upon and too quick to make use of them.

I have no idea what the real truth here is.

10 Days to vaccinate 1 million people (number of vaccines delivered).

100,000 vax per day or getting part of those vaccines to the most vulnerable as quickly as possible.

Instead they rejected the shipment. Which now means those vaccines are totally wasted.

Biden reinstated foreign aid to the PLO. So, they are using US money to buy US vaccine from Israel and they are griping that Israel should give it to them for free under the Geneva Convention. Palestinians are the global trash of this world. Even nutjob sunni states like Saudi don’t want them in their states, other than as annoying servants.

Personally I think these vaccines cause more harm than good, so I don’t get broken up about vaccines being “wasted”.
