Ash also reaffirmed that there are no certainties yet on when a vaccine booster will be needed, a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israelis to get ready to be jabbed again in six months. “We are trying to find the best solution. After all, we don’t want (the vaccines) to get here and have to throw them into the trash,” Ash, told Army Radio, saying Israel’s needs were being met by other suppliers. In his remarks, Ash made no reference to AstraZeneca’s vaccine having been associated with very rare blood clots in Europe. Many countries there resumed administering it after the European Union’s drug watchdog said the benefits outweighed the risks. Israel casted a wide net last year when trying to secure vaccine doses at the height of the pandemic and preordered from a number of companies. It largely settled on the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, launching one of the world’s swiftest rollouts. COVID-19 infections in Israel have dropped dramatically and the economy has reopened. Israel is also buying the COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna, which uses a similar messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. Ash said that with supplies secure through 2022, Israel no longer required the 10 million doses it agreed to purchase) from AstraZeneca.

“They can certainly be used in other places in the world. At the moment, we are trying to find, along with the company, the best way to do this,” he said. “We believe it would be best if they (the vaccines) did not come to Israel, and we agree with the company on some sort of way to divert them elsewhere.” Officials at AstraZeneca had no immediate comment. Around 81% of Israeli citizens or residents over 16 – the age group eligible for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in Israel – have received both doses. Some 167,000 of the 5.2 million Palestinians in the West Bank and the Islamist Hamas-run Gaza Strip have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, with supplies coming in from Israel, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, the global COVAX vaccine-sharing program and China. Ash also talked about the outline of the upcoming festival of Lag Ba’omer, which falls on Thursday next week. The day is traditionally marked with bonfires and in normal years dozens of thousands of people gather at Mt. Meron to take part in the celebration. The commissioner said that only green passport holders – people who are fully vaccinated or have recovered – will be able to attend the festivities at Mt. Meron. “We agreed to an outline for reaching Mt. Meron, but we cannot say that there are not any risks,” he told Army Radio. 內塔尼亞胡放棄組建政府 他說，他將改為直接選舉總理，他說，如果亞米納支持，將會通過。 通過GIL HOFFMAN) 2021年4月20日22:15

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a memorial ceremony for Joseph Trumpeldor in Tel-Hai, northern Israel, February 23, 2021 (photo credit: DAVID COHEN/FLASH 90) Advertisement Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) is no longer seeking a government that relies on the outside support of the Ra’am Party (United Arab List), he said Tuesday at a press conference in the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem. Netanyahu no longer sees any chance of forming a government, although he still intends to maintain his mandate to form a government, which ends on May 4, his associates said.

Instead, he would seek a direct election for prime minister, which will pass if Yamina supports it, Netanyahu said. “We don’t need Ra’am),” he said. “We need a direct election to form a government.” When asked if he condemned the repeated attacks on Ra’am by Religious Zionist Party head Bezalel Smotrich, Netanyahu declined to comment, which angered Ra’am MKs. “Netanyahu knows our address if he wants to form a government,” Ra’am MK Saeed Alharomi told The Jerusalem Post. “He knows he needs to restrain them.” Asked about the possibility that another senior Likud figure, such as Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin, would form a government in a rotation with him as prime minister, Netanyahu said that would “disrespect the will of one million voters who cast ballots that said, ‘The Likud led by Netanyahu.’”

Netanyahu’s associates said he would devote the rest of his mandate to attacking and “outing” Yamina leader Naftali Bennett, who is expected to attempt building a coalition with Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid after Netanyahu’s mandate ends.

At the press conference, Netanyahu accused Bennett of preventing the formation of a right-wing government “due to his personal ambition to be prime minister with seven mandates.” Yamina wanted there to be a right-wing government, but holding a fifth election in just over two years was not an option, Yamina faction head Ayelet Shaked said at the Association of Municipal Corporations conference at the Herod’s Hotel in Eilat. Netanyahu met on Tuesday with Smotrich and urged him to back the bill for the direct election of prime minister submitted by Shas MKs. Lapid condemned Netanyahu’s call for a direct election, calling it a “stalling tactic” and that Israel does not need another election. Lapid faced criticism from within the anti-Netanyahu camp on Tuesday from MKs who complained that he had not finalized a deal with Bennett. The gaps between Lapid and Bennett remain wide on the makeup of a prospective government, how portfolios should be distributed and which one of them should receive the next mandate to form a government from President Reuven Rivlin. Yesh Atid faction head Meir Cohen convened representatives of factions in the anti-Netanyahu bloc at the Knesset on Tuesday to plan a strategy ahead of the next meeting of the Knesset Arrangements Committee on Wednesday. In the first meeting of the committee late Monday night, the two sides failed to agree on who should receive the posts of deputy Knesset speaker and temporary chairmanship of the Knesset’s Finance and Foreign Affairs and Defense committees. Until deputy Knesset speakers are appointed, a date for the election to replace Rivlin as president cannot be set. 魯哈尼說，“短時間內”可能會重返伊朗 “如果美國人在誠實的框架內行事，我們將在短時間內取得成果。” 由拉哈夫·哈科夫（LAHAV HARKOV）) 2021年4月20日20:35

(photo credit: REUTERS/YANA PASKOVA) The US and Iran could reach an agreement to return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal soon, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said on Tuesday, following another round of indirect talks between the countries. “The talks in Vienna have progressed by about 60 to 70%,” Rouhani said. “If Americans act within the framework of honesty, we will achieve results in a short time.” Rouhani’s comments came a day after Russia’s Ambassador to International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov tweeted that the negotiations “entered the drafting stage.” However, Western parties to the Iran deal see) mid-May, shortly before the end of Iran’s threatened May 21 deadline to end cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, as its target date to reach an agreement. Iranian diplomat Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that his delegation will pull out of negotiations if there are “excessive demands and time wasting.” The talks between the US and Iran, facilitated by the European parties to the deal – the UK, France and Germany – are meant to bring both countries back to compliance with the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which limits Iran’s ability to enrich uranium, while gradually lifting sanctions. The JCPOA’s restrictions on uranium enrichment) expire in 2030, which critics in Israel and beyond say means the agreement provides Iran a path to a nuclear weapon with an international imprimatur. The negotiations in Vienna are for Iran to scale back its enrichment from 60% – an unprecedented level that it reached in the last week – to the permissible 5%, as well as its other violations of the JCPOA, and for the US to lift sanctions it placed on Iran after leaving the deal in 2018. Iran has said it will not make any concessions until all post-JCPOA sanctions are removed, while the US has said it will not lift sanctions without Iran taking serious steps towards compliance. In Tuesday’s talks, representatives of the countries involved agreed to return to their capitals to discuss practical steps and sequencing for the US to lift sanctions and for Iran to return to compliance. Negotiations are expected to continue in Vienna next week. Ulyanov tweeted after the talks that the Joint Commission of the JCPOA “took note with satisfaction of the progress made in negotiations to restore the nuclear deal.” But EU Deputy Secretary-General for foreign policy Enrique Mora said “much more hard work [is] needed.” “I continue to think that diplomacy is [the] only way forward for the JCPOA to address ongoing challenges,” Mora tweeted. Earlier Tuesday, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi called on world powers to ensure Iran cannot develop a nuclear weapon in the future, which would be a major shift from the 2015 deal. “Iran is undermining the stability of the entire Middle East and the international community must act to not allow Iran to reach nuclear capabilities – not today and not in the future,” Ashkenazi said in a meeting with UK Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove, who was visiting Israel to learn about post-COVID-19 policies. On Sunday, Israel’s Diplomatic-Security Cabinet held a meeting on the Iranian threat. Sources in the meeting expressed concern that the US is charging into a deal “at all costs” without addressing security concerns. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said that the US would seek a “longer and stronger” Iran deal, with administration officials and US President Joe Biden himself mentioning possible additional elements such as limiting Iran’s ballistic missile program and its aggression across the Middle East. Israeli officials have questioned whether the US will have the leverage to bring Iran back to the negotiating table to lengthen and strengthen the nuclear deal if Washington lifts sanctions on Tehran only to rejoin it.

To date, 121,866 Palestinians in the West Bank and 34,580 in Gaza have been vaccinated, or 3% out of a population of 5.2 million, according to the World Health Organization. The WHO did not clarify if that number included the Israeli vaccination program for 105,000 Palestinian workers. Israel has vaccinated 81% of its population over the age of 16. The PA, which lacks funding, has barely begun a vaccination program and has relied heavily on donations, including from Israel. In addition, it has not successfully inoculated its population with the vaccines it does have, according to the WHO. The PA has received 311,440 vaccine doses, of which 223,140 went to the West Bank and 83,300 to Gaza, according to WHO figures from April 15.

Priority will be given to medical and humanitarian workers, those above 60 years old and those with chronic diseases, he said. The World Health Organisation had said the first rollout of COVAX vaccines in Syria would begin in early May and aims to inoculate nearly 20% of Syria's population by year-end or almost 5 million people in both government-held areas and the northeast and northwest. Syria was hard hit )by the pandemic last year during two spikes in August and December and with another spike in infections in the last month.
