The Palestinian Authority has cancelled a deal with Israel that would have seen one million doses of the Pfizer vaccine transferred to the West Bank.
Following lengthy negotiations, Israel agreed to provide vaccine doses nearing expiration to the PA in return for shipments due for the West Bank in September and October.
However, the PA said the doses it was given by Israel were too close to their expiry date.
According to Health Minister Mai Alkaila, the Israeli government said the vaccines would expire in July or August, but those that arrived had a use-by day of June.
