جWe are living the features of a new world known as a post-Corona world, whose repercussions will remain with us for many years to come, which will not stop at changing the way of life only, but will shape the transformations of political and economic power and the nature of international relations and their tools .. One of the new concepts in this world is vaccine diplomacy .. And what is meant is By using the vaccine as a means to achieve the goals of the state, either to impose influence or to strengthen relations with another country ...

Israel, India, China and Russia have emerged as the most prominent countries involved in this diplomacy .. Regarding China and Russia, they have sent thousands of vaccines to countries in South America with the aim of strengthening their global position in the backyard of the United States within a long-term strategy. While India has surpassed its Chinese competitor in the battle of vaccine diplomacy, as reports indicate that it is about to export more than 6 million free vaccines to the poor world and emerging markets in exchange for 3 and a half million Chinese vaccines, the bulk of which has been allocated to its neighboring surroundings, such as Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to overcome the Chinese influence. In this region and presenting itself as a savior and as a world leader ..

As for Israel, it is the big story ... even though it celebrates that it is the first in the world to provide the vaccine to its residents, as about half of the population has received the vaccination, and despite the fact that vaccines are piled up in its health stores, it invented an additional goal for vaccine diplomacy, which is collective punishment in contravention of the simplest global ethics Insistence on acting as an occupying and medical apartheid state, instead of acting like India in treating its neighbors and trying to build walls of trust. While it pledged to send vaccines to countries as far away as Chad, Honduras, Ethiopia and even Mauritania (for political gains when needed)
