\/…<\/p>\n

Question<\/u>:\u00a0 Thank you, St\u00e9phane.\u00a0 And I apologize for not putting the video.\u00a0 I have two questions.\u00a0 First, St\u00e9phane, as a follow\u2011up to my question yesterday, I ask bluntly if the UN will apologize to Mr.\u00a0[Pierre] Kr\u00e4henb\u00fchl.\u00a0 He has been falsely and politically targeted for misconduct, and he was found innocent.\u00a0 And he is asking for a clear\u2011cut apology from the UN so that, to clear his name, he would be maybe available for future posts in the UN.\u00a0 That’s one thing.\u00a0 And my second question\u2026 yes, please.\u00a0 My second question about the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is regarding the COVID\u201119.\u00a0 The Authority declared one-month emergency.\u00a0 The situation is going out of hand.\u00a0 The situation\u2026 the availability of vaccine is very dire, yet Israel today announced selling vaccine to Denmark and another country in northern Europe.\u00a0 I forgot the name of the second country.\u00a0 Is that fair treatment of the people under occupation?<\/p>\n

Spokesman<\/u>:\u00a0 We are working with our Palestinian partners in an effort to help with the vaccine availability and distribution through COVAX and other means.\u00a0 We’ve also been in contact with the Israeli authorities in the manner of which I’ve already highlighted a number of times.\u00a0 I think what is important is that there is global solidarity across the board for access to the vaccine.\u00a0 On your first question, I think Farhan [Haq] shared with you what we had to say, and we put it into the record yesterday, and I have nothing else to add on that.\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 James, and then we’ll go to our guest, who’s been very patient.<\/p>\n
