General Secretary of the National Palestinian Initiative criminalized Israel's decision of preventing the entry of Russia's Sputnik vaccine into Gaza.

Israel does not only violate the international law, escape its duties as an occupant, keep practicing racial discrimination against the Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza by maintaining a monopoly over the coronavirus vaccine, but it also ruins huge amounts of the vaccine so the Palestinians cannot take benefit of it," Mustafa Barghouti stated in a press release.

He confirmed that the Israeli government's behaviors constitute a crime that must be trialed by the World Health Organization and the International Society.

"Those behaviors indicate risky political intentions to let the coronavirus pandemic spread among the Palestinian," Bargouti mentioned.

Mai al-Kaila, Minister of Health, declared today that the Israeli government prevented the entry of 2000 doses of Sputnik vaccine into Gaza.
