Israel blasted for sending COVID-19 vaccines to foreigners

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for readiness to send COVID-19 vaccines to foreign allies while leaving millions of Palestinians without access to the vaccines.

"As the occupying power, Israel is responsible for the health of all the people under its control. It is outrageous that Netanyahu would use spare vaccines to reward his foreign allies while so many Palestinians in the occupied territories are still waiting," wrote Sanders in the tweet.

It is worth noting that Netanyahu promised to ship spare doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to several of his allies in a way to win political favors from them

Meanwhile, Israel refuses to provide vaccines to over six million Palestinians who live under its military occupation.
