Israel has dropped most of its coronavirus restrictions as the country’s infection rate is now below 20 cases per day. Israel is currently concentrating on restricting travel in and out of the country to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. In comparison to Israel's enormously successful vaccine campaign, only about 6 percent of Palestinians have received one shot of a vaccine, according to Our World in Data. Israel has maintained that it has no obligation to provide vaccine doses to Palestinians, though some officials have stated that it would be in Israel's interest to do so. The Palestinian Authority has received some doses through the COVAX World Health Organization program.
