sam kylie joins us live from jerusalem. good to see you, sam.in the end who will have the respons responsibility of ensuring all palestinians get vaccinated? >> reporter: in the first instance, rosemary, the palestinian authority has said it is in negotiations with a wide variety of vaccine suppliers, and it hopes to get its vaccination campaign under way some time this quarter. that will be a very long way, indeed, behind a world beating vaccination campaign that's been rolled out inside israel but also inside the west bank in the jewish settlements which are illegal under international law according to the united nations, where anybody who has an israeli i.d. and that's includes the arab residents of east jerusalem are able to get a vaccination. but that doesn't apply in every case as my report shows. this jewish man and this arab resident of jerusalem have something lifesaving in common. they've both got israeli i.d. cards and therefore benefit from israeli world leading anti-covid vaccination program. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on

joining us now with more details is senior international correspondent sam kylie standing by in jerusalem. good to see you, sam. so what could this potentially mean for joe biden's administration and of course the humanitarian crisis there? >> well, rosemary, firstly on the international diplomatic front as you know houthi rebels and other belligerents in that now pretty long running war are part of a faltering peace process sponsored by and led by the united nations. and if one of the belligerents in that namely the houthi rebels are dez naltsignated as a terro organization it makes it very difficult for them to participate, not impossible. remember, of course, the taliban is currently involved in face-to-face negotiations from time to time with american officials in their efforts to try to broker a long-term peace in afghanistan. so it doesn't completely cripple, but it certainly hamstrings the biden's administrations future ambitions if they've got any, and i'm sure they do, for peace in yemen. in terms of humanitarian operation, the impact is much more significant. the houthi rebels h

sam kylie from jerusalem. >> reporter: the israeli government at end of long and late night cabinet meetingecided to ban international flights into and out of israel starting midnight monday night. while the country is enjoying world-leading reputation in terms of israeli citizens and work permit holders inoculated, about 25% of the population, they've been struggling in spite of a strict lockdown to get to grips with the continued spread of the coronavirus amid increasing concern of the new apparently or potentially more dangerous strains, particularly coming from the united kingdom, brazil and south africa. on top of that, israeli government and police in particular have been struggling with elements in the ultraorthodox community refusing to socially isolate, close schools or stop worship in large numbers in synagogues and other gathering places. against all of this, israeli government is anxious not to see the shine come off the success of their vaccination campaign, particularly as benjamin netanyahu facing another general election march 23rd. sam kiley, jerusalem. >>> approved the use

for more on this, sam kylie is following developments in jerusalem, first paula hancocks joins us.hat is the latest on that seized south korean flagged tanker? >> we're hearing from the south korean foreign ministry they've been told by the iranian authorities that the sailors are safe. we understand the iranian ambassador to south korea was summoned this monday afternoon saying the sailors are safe but that it's a simple technical issue. so the iranians are sticking to their story that the reason that they had to detain this particular tanker was because it was being an environmental polluter and certainly this is what the south korean ambassador to tehran was told by authorities as well. again, saying the sailors were safe. we know there were 20 sailors on board. five of them of korean nationality. certainly analysts would point you to the fact that there are frozen funds, an estimated $7 billion of frozen funds, iranian assets in south korean banks at this point. so certainly that would raise a question mark as to whether or not this detention was more than environmental but was

cnn's sam kylie is live in jerusalem for us. ow did israel manage to do this so quickly and get so many people inoculated? >> well, i think the short answer is that israel because of where it lives in its neighborhood and its recent history since its foundation is used to national mobilization. it also has a national health service with four different companies within it competing against one another. it is a highly militarized country. a country familiar with rather informal but very high levels of efficiency. because of that, an some early negotiations, the israelis really have been well beaters in this distributing this vaccine. we spoke yesterday to the israeli "health minute"ster. this - health minister. >> we have seen the huge countries once successful. second was my immediate decision not to put all the eggs in one basket. realizing we still didn't know who will be successful at that stage, who will be the front-runner in the end. and the third was i was would say a very active support of prime minister netanyahu who was
