I ask that you join congress members Marie Newman, Rashida Tlaib, Jamal Bowman, and Joaquin Castro in condemning Israel’s health inequality and pressuring Israel to meet its legal, moral, and humanitarian obligation to provide the COVID-19 vaccine to Palestinians. The media is buzzing that Israel is the world leader in COVID-19 vaccinations. But, medical apartheid is nothing to celebrate. Settlers living illegally in the West Bank are getting vaccine shots while Palestinians get nothing. On February 1, Israel finally delivered 5,000 COVID-19 vaccines to the West Bank for Palestinian medical staff. However, this is compared to having vaccinated 3.1 million (33.4 percent) of the population inside Israel. Sounds unfair and like apartheid? It is. According to the Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority is solely responsible for the health care of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. However, those deals were part of the vision that envisioned a more complete peace agreement being signed within five years. Almost three decades later, this larger peace agreement still hasn’t happened and Israel has entrenched its settlement enterprise occupation while flouting international law which says clearly that the occupying power is obligated to meet the humanitarian needs of the people it is occupying. Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza direly need the COVID-19 vaccine. On January 29th alone, the West Bank recorded 575 new cases. 1,823 people in the West Bank and Gaza have already died from the coronavirus. The situation in Gaza is particularly worrisome. Gaza suffers from up to 12 hours a day without electricity. Thanks to Israel’s air, land, and sea siege, as well as multiple military assaults on the crowded enclave, there is a severe shortage of medicine and medical equipment in Gaza along with significant poverty and unemployment. Quarantining and maintaining sanitation in Gaza is extremely difficult. Israeli medical apartheid is repugnant and must be condemned. Please Tweet and/or make a statement calling on Israel to meet its humanitarian obligations and equitably share the vaccine.

Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza direly need the COVID-19 vaccine. As of January 5, 2021, there were 143,169 active cases and 1,505 COVID deaths in the Palestinian territories. The infection and death rates are climbing dangerously. In a period of just 24 hours, 1,191 new cases and 20 deaths from the virus were announced. The situation in Gaza is particularly worrisome. Gaza suffers from up to 12 hours a day without electricity.

I ask that you join congress member Marie Newman in condemning Israel’s health inequality and pressuring Israel to meet its legal, moral, and humanitarian obligation to provide the COVID-19 vaccine to Palestinians. During the first week of 2021, the Palestinian Authority began to inquire if Israel would help them obtain the vaccine. So far, Israeli officials have said that they might offer whatever they have leftover to the West Bank and Gaza after vaccinating Israeli citizens and East Jerusalem Palestinians. This medical apartheid is repugnant and must be condemned. Please Tweet and/or make a statement.
