How has Israel managed to rollout the Coronavirus vaccine at such speed?

A deep faith in science and healthtech, a militarised efficiency, a high price on the value of life, a commitment to innovation and a unifying national cause.

I’ve spoken to leading figures from the worlds of national security, Israel’s leading researcher and a journalist, whose spent his career covering the Middle East and an MP, synonymous with building relations with the Arab world.

We hear from the chief innovator in Israel’s largest healthcare organisation, Clalit’s Ran Balicer, Colonel Richard Kemp, a former national security chief who chaired Cobra who was responsible for coordinating national intelligence including MI5 and MI6

And journalist, writer, author and hawklike watcher of the Middle East who writes for the Spectator, deputy editor of Britain’s Jewish Chronicle, Jake Wallis Simons

We also hear from David Jones MP, who’s on the executive committee of of the council for Arab British understanding and vice chair of the All-party parliamentary group on Jordan.

And how despite the headlines, how Israel has distributed some vaccine help to the Palestinians but why the PA might just wanna keep that quiet.
