they are responsible for the vaccine distribution to the people of the gaza strip and west bank.hey are responsible on the pandemic situation. the israeli prisoners took vaccines, the palestinians not. the israeli people took vaccines. palestinians not. israel will be the first country in the world pandemic free. if netanyahu talks about the anti-semitic act, this is 100% racist behavior, unprecedented behavior. israel occupies palestinian territory, and they are totally responsible according to international law, the geneva conventions, on the well-being of the palestinian people. amy: i want to thank you for being with us. all health to you. human rights lawyer, director of the palestinian center for human rights in gaza. also to catherine gallagher, center for constitutional rights and legal representative for palestinian victims in front of the icc. when we come back, we are going to turn to the $1.9 trillion covid-19 package in the u.s. and look at the effect of the economic crisis on women. we will talk to the woman who coined the term the s he-cession. stay with us. amy: "

criticize israel for not providing vaccines to palestinians living under israeli occupation in the west bank and the besieged gaza strip spiteri force at a correspondent joins us live from west jerusalem and harry said israel banning these days says the delivery of these days is why. well they're not saying so far the line from officials is that the decision has not yet been taken it is a decision for the national security council so essentially a decision for the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and so far the political echelon we're told has not taken that decision and so when the palestinian authority tried to transport these 2000 doses for medical workers in gaza through a checkpoint from the west bank into israeli territory they were simply turned back now there was a debate in the israeli parliament the knesset on monday where there were several voices saying that no vaccines should be allowed into gaza while hamas which runs garza continues to hold 2 israeli civilians and the remains of 2 israeli soldiers killed in the 2040 war another israeli member of the knesset talking about the

economy reasons for palestinians it's an added complication in dealing with the pandemic in the west bank thousands of vaccine doses were expected to arrive in mid february but so far only a few 100 people have been inoculated on monday israel blocked the shipment of vaccines acquired by the palestinian authority from entering the gaza strip israel says this was a political decision not a humanitarian one. israel has a large number of unused vaccines but has only some of the palestinians 2000 jobs the government says it is not its responsibility we have an agreement with the palestinians whereby and if you allow me i'd like to quote it it's it's from the oslo agreement palos and responsibilities in the sphere of health in the west bank and the girls strip would be transferred to the palestinian side but international humanitarian law makes an occupying power responsible for the entire population israel holds effective control over the pa palestinian population even with. autonomous or a summary government by the palestinians both of us back in gaza. israel controls a very aspect of palest

i mean you would think that given the proximity of israelis to the palestinians who live in the west bank occupied east jerusalem and the gaza strip that they would be concerned about making sure all of them have the exact same baxi in the same protection because this virus certainly doesn't respect any green lines or anything else but that has not been sufficient the the effort by netanyahu to gain credit it seems as if in anticipation of having to run for office again to stay out of jail in that he's very concerned about being able to say that he kept the virus from his citizens without taking into account any of the obligations under international law are how the science works none of this makes any sense of course here for the debate for the last several weeks since the sort of the global rollout of vaccine is is the word is the worry about sort of the financial inequalities between rich and poor countries here in this region it's more specific about a conflict which involves the responsibilities of the occupier of the occupied. that's absolutely right when you have an occupying power
