Israel will transfer three-to-four million coronavirus vaccines for Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, a senior official in Ramallah told Israel Hayom Saturday. According to an official with Ramallah's Health Ministry, the move is part of a deal Israel has reached with pharmaceutical companies producing the vaccine.

Israel has already reached agreements with the world's leading pharmaceutical companies in the development of a coronavirus vaccine, including Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca.

The official noted that the distribution plan was a "strategic goal" that was the result of a collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian healthcare professionals. However, the Palestinians claim that they will be short several million doses needed to vaccinate the entire population even after receiving the vaccines from Israel and the millions of vaccines the United Nations promised them.

The Strip has recently experienced a spike in coronavirus cases. On Sunday, Gaza's Health Ministry reported 684 new cases and three deaths.

The new cases bring the total number of cases since the beginning of the outbreak to 14,768, with the death toll rising to 65.

On Saturday, about 595 new cases were reported in the West Bank, with 51 patients in serious condition and 10 deaths. Overall, 82,780 cases have been reported since the beginning of the outbreak in the West Bank and Gaza.
