COVID-19 Vaccination in Territory Occupied by Israel

That the Parliament expresses its anger at the Israeli Government’s reported failure to vaccinate Palestinians living in the occupied territories against COVID-19; understands that while Israel has the highest rate of vaccination in the world, Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza are being denied the vaccination; notes calls from UN human rights experts to ensure that the Israeli state provides swift and equitable access to the vaccine for Palestinians under occupation; further notes the reported statement from the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights which states differential access to vaccines in the occupied territories is “morally and legally” unacceptable, and calls on the Israeli authorities to fulfil what it considers their obligations and provide equal access to vaccinations.
