@WajahatAli Here is the true reality ... unrolled and below. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1363539…

@WajahatAli Thread: You have Palestinian leadership still fighting for all the land b/w the river & the sea, no matter how that effects their people.

Under Oslo Accords, the PA is responsible for healthcare of its people, including all vaccinations, for Palestinians in West Bank & Gaza

@WajahatAli Additionally, under Oslo & the Geneva Convention (to the extent it applies here), the two sides are to cooperate in fighting epidemics.

However, the PA cut ties with Israel, and never requested help in securing vaccines:

@WajahatAli And then, as stipulated by the Oslo agreement, the Palestinian Authority did procure vaccines on their own and through the WHO:

@WajahatAli Nonetheless, after a request by the Palestinian Authority, which they initially denied, as to not make it seem as if they are working with Israel, they received 5,000 doses for frontline workers:

@WajahatAli Meanwhile in Israel proper, Palestinian citizens of Israel, and Palestinians in Israeli prisons, are all being vaccinated along with the rest of the country:

@WajahatAli Israel is also set to vaccinate 100,000 Palestinian workers who cross into Israel from the West Bank every day for work:

@WajahatAli Unfortunately, as Lebanese press is reporting, Lebanon has no plans to vaccinate their Palestinian population that has been living there for 70+ years.

Where is the outrage against Lebanon? The outrage from you?

@WajahatAli Also, under Geneva, the 2 sides are to collaborate fighting a pandemic, but the Palestinian Authority refuses to do so (at least publicly)

Imagine if the two sides actually worked together, & people in the press like you didn't blame one side.
