The Israeli government on Wednesday said it was donating 1 million coronavirus vaccines to the U.N.-backed COVAX program.
The Foreign Ministry said the AstraZenica vaccines would be transferred in the coming weeks, a decision that was part of Israel’s strengthening ties with the African countries.
“I am delighted that Israel can contribute and be a partner in eradicating the pandemic around the world,” said Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
