Covid: Palestinians cancel vaccine swap deal with Israel - BBC News

Palestinians cancel vaccine swap deal with Israel


The Palestinian Authority has cancelled a deal under which Israel was to give it at least one million Covid vaccines.



The authority said the jabs were too close to their expiry date.

Earlier, Israel said it didn't need an ageing stock of vaccines and they were to be used to speed up the Palestinian vaccination programme.

In return, the Palestinians were to give Israel a similar number of vaccines they are expecting from the Pfizer organisation later in the year.

However, when the first batch of jabs from Israel arrived, Palestinian officials said they were even nearer their expiry date than expected.

They said there wasn't enough time to use them, and that the deal was off.
