Low coronavirus vaccination rates among Arab Israelis have raised concerns that Israel’s conservative minority may be immune to calls to get shots against the novel coronavirus but experts say it’s more complicated than that.
While a few vaccination centers have been erected in Arab towns and cities, many facilities reported that most of those waiting in line were Jews. In Umm al-Fahm, Shfaram, and Nazareth three major Arab Israeli cities more than 75 percent of those vaccinated over the past few days have been Jews.
