new virus cases has more than doubled in the last two weeks, making Israel a rising hot spot on the international charts

Israeli data suggests the possibility of an increased risk of severe disease among those who received early vaccinations.
The number of deaths in Israel has climbed in the past month as the infection rate increased.

the highly contagious Delta variant, now the primary version of the virus in Israel

Israel’s older population had received two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine by the end of February, and by now about 78 percent of the population 12 and older are fully vaccinated.

Out of a population of nine million, about a million eligible Israelis have so far opted not to get vaccinated at all.

Most Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza remain unvaccinated after Palestinian officials rejected a vaccine-exchange deal with Israel in June.

a crucial test for Israel’s new prime minister, Naftali Bennett, who staked a claim for leadership partly on the strength of his manifesto, “How to Beat a Pandemic.”

The World Food Programme, which brings in supplies by road, said it was getting food through via four different supply routes for the moment, but could start running out of food by next month.

"We've got 20,000 metric tonnes of food in the country now, we've got 7,000 metric tonnes on the way."We need another 54,000 metric tonnes of food to get the Afghan people through to the end of December.

Why are they bottle feeding it to them like they're koalas after an Australian bush fire? They're humans. Also the fact that water and plumbing is still a problem in a nation they spent trillions of dollars and two decades supposedly nation building shows why they need to GTFO. https://t.co/GaXk8IvCHa
