BBC admits it was wrong to suggest Israel had responsibility to vaccinate Palestinians
The BBC has admitted it was wrong to suggest Israel has a responsibility to vaccinate Palestinians against Covid-19 under the terms of the Oslo Accords.
In an interview with journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti for the programme Dateline London, presenter Shaun Ley suggested the peace agreement meant Israel should vaccinate all Palestinians.
Mr Sacerdoti insisted that it was the responsibility of the Palestinian Authority, whose own health ministry said it would seek vaccine supplies through the World Health Organisation.
The BBC, following a complaint about the exchange from the public about the programme, which aired on the BBC News Channel on January 16, has since issued a correction and admitted it was wrong.

under the Geneva Convention, if you have a society under illegal military occupation, you are responsible for their care.
it's an illegal military occupation. Read many UN resolutions?

Israel hasn’t learned the lesson of Rabin’s assassination, slain PM’s son says
Quarter-century after his father was slain by Jewish extremist, Yuval Rabin worries about history repeating itself, but takes solace in growing anti-government demonstrations

Israeli society hasn’t learned the lessons of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination a quarter century ago, his son Yuval Rabin said Sunday, lamenting the level of public discourse and political leaders’ persistent attacks on their opponents and the legal establishment.
At the same time, he said he was heartened by a growing number of Israelis who are unwilling to accept the current state of affairs and have been taking to the streets to protest against it.

“The basic premise of maintaining democracy is that the rule of law must be supreme. And where the leaders themselves on an ongoing basis challenge the validity and the legitimacy of the [justice system’s] decisions because they don’t like them, it totally breaks the structure,” he said.
But while there are many reasons to be concerned, Rabin also noted what he described as a positive change since the tense days of the early 1990s.
The Israeli public appears to show “increasing resistance” as a “wide range of constituencies are saying: ‘No more,’ and more and more people are protesting and demanding that the law applied to everyone equally,” he said, apparently referring to the weekly demonstrations against Netanyahu and his government.
