The U.S., Britain and the E.U. had been under growing pressure to share vaccine knowledge. “The extraordinary circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic call for extraordinary measures,” Katherine Tai, the U.S. trade representative, said in a statement. The World Trade Organization is holding discussions about waiving intellectual property protections, which India and South Africa have pressed for. Until now, the U.S. had blocked the plan. More discussions are expected. Disparities: In much of the developed world, vaccine orders are soaring and life is roaring back to normal.

Lapid’s party, Yesh Atid, came second behind Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party. Dynamics: To secure a coalition, Lapid has said he would be willing to share power with Naftali Bennett, a former settler leader who opposes Palestinian statehood and wants to annex large parts of the occupied West Bank. The divisions in Israeli politics currently make it impossible for Lapid to win office without reaching a compromise with parts of the far right.

The European Commission said that it would take action against foreign companies that receive financial support from their governments, a move aimed at China. “Europe is open for business, but come and do it in a fair and transparent manner,” said Margrethe Vestager, the bloc’s competition chief. A separate proposal is intended to make Europe less dependent on China for crucial goods like semiconductors, drugs and batteries. A shift: After tensions in E.U.-China relations and tit-for-tat sanctions, work on finalizing an investment deal years in the making between the bloc and China was “suspended” this week, the E.U. trade chief said. Europe’s tougher line toward China brings it more in line with the stance of the Biden administration, which objected to the investment agreement.

What is happening to Trump’s account? Facebook indefinitely suspended Trump after he used Facebook to condone the actions of the Capitol rioters. The Oversight Board the company created to review its decisions agreed. But, the board also said that Facebook was wrong to make Trump’s account suspension indefinite. It said Facebook should re-examine the penalty within six months. Facebook has to make the hard calls. A striking line from the Oversight Board’s decision was its criticism of Facebook for passing the buck on what to do about Trump. “In applying a vague, standardless penalty and then referring this case to the board to resolve, Facebook seeks to avoid its responsibilities,” the board wrote. The Oversight Board has limitations. In its first year of operation, the board has urged Facebook to be far more transparent. But the last year has also proved its limitations. Facebook makes millions of judgment calls each day on people’s posts and accounts. Most of the people who believe Facebook made a mistake will never get heard by the board.
