The expiration date has arrived Israel resumes “Vaccine Diplomacy”.Following the suspension of the decision due to political differences, Israel announced the resumption of the transfer of corona vaccine “for free” to “friendly” countries.
Kahn’s official channel said the tens of thousands of vaccines would expire at the end of May, so there is limited time to move forward with this stage.
On Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Security Cabinet that he was ready to discuss the transfer of the vaccine to foreign countries.
“If this is really an important political need, the vaccine should be passed on,” Gantz, who had previously opposed the move, wrote in a letter to Netanyahu.
Earlier last month, the Israeli Ministry of Justice said it had halted its plan to distribute surplus Coronavirus vaccines because it was considering whether to take the initiative to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a related development, Netanyahu-led Likud Interior Minister Amir Auhana defended the decision to resume vaccination, a process known in Israel as “vaccine diplomacy.”
“Some drugs have an expiration date and it is preferable to go to those who need them instead of throwing them away,” Ohana said in an interview with Kahn.
