Online Report: Israel has agreed to purchase millions of dollars of Russian "Sputnik" vaccines against Corona that will be delivered to the Syrians in exchange for the Israeli return who crossed the border into Syria a few days ago and returned to Israel on Thursday night, Tikun Olam reported.
The reports confirm the publication yesterday in "Israel Today", under the restrictions of censorship of the affair.
The police issued a restraining order on the details of the investigation, which is being conducted at the unit for the fight against serious and international crime (Yahaval). In response, senior government officials told Israel Today that "the restraining order is puzzling, there is no reason for the public not to know."
According to a publication in the Saudi newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, the deal to release Israel included conditions for the transfer of vaccines to Syria.
Informed sources in Tel Aviv who spoke with the newspaper allegedly linked the secret clause in the agreement with Syria in vaccines against the corona virus.
Sources stated that Syria needs vaccines while in Israel there is a surplus of them.
The sources declined to provide further information.
At the same time, it was reported yesterday that a vaccination campaign against the virus has begun in Syria, even though the amount of vaccines held by the Syrians is insufficient for the entire population, and can currently serve only 20 percent of all citizens of the appropriate age to receive the vaccine.
