Exiled Fatah security chief Mohammad Dahlan announced Wednesday that the United Arab Emirates will send another 40,000 Russian Sputnik V vaccines to the Gaza Strip.
“In the next step of the Emirates’ generous donations, I’m glad to inform our patient and steadfast people of the arrival of a new shipment of coronavirus vaccines, with the aim of providing protection to our valiant medical staff and to priority groups,” Dahlan said in a tweet.
The spokesperson for United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres was asked on February 24th to comment regarding Saturday Night Liveâs anti-Semitic âjoke.â Israelâs claim to have vaccinated half of its population meant only its âJewish half,â the SNL cast member snarked. The spokesperson replied, âIt’s not for me to get into.â
The Secretary General likes to talk abstractly about the evils of anti-Semitism. But when asked about a specific example of an anti-Semitic comment that was broadcast widely on television, his spokesperson refused to denounce it. Instead, he criticized Israel. The spokesperson said that âwe have called from here for Israel to do greater cooperation with the Palestinian Authorities in line with its obligations to ensure that the vaccine gets to the population⦠the Palestinian population in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.â
