The territory, which is home to more than 2 million Palestinians, has yet to receive any vaccines. An Israeli official said Israel has received a request to allow 1,000 Sputnik V doses to be delivered to Gaza that was still being debated late Monday. The National Security Council official, Roi Binyamini, told the panel that the government had no intention of sharing Israel’s own supply of vaccines with Gaza. But he said the government was weighing requests from other parties to allow the PA to deliver its own vaccines to Gaza. Rights groups say it has an obligation as an occupying power to share its vaccines with the Palestinians.
