Netanyahu: Vaccination Campaign Has Included Arab Citizens of Israel
(Times of Israel) In an interview with Fox News on March 4, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed a joke last month by Saturday Night Live's Micheal Che that Israel had only vaccinated the Jewish half of its population. "That's outrageous. In fact, I brought vaccines and went especially to the Arab communities, the Arab citizens of Israel, and vaccinated as many as we can. I must've gone to half a dozen Arab communities already, talked with the mayors there, brought the leaders, brought the doctors there, Arab doctors." (Al Jazeera) Prof. Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute said Friday that 84% of Israeli Arabs over age 50 are vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19.
