Officials are pledging to ramp up vaccinations to protect New Delhi’s more than 20 million people. Some residents are skeptical: This weekend, city officials had to close vaccination centers for lack of supply, a problem plaguing the entire country. India lacks manufacturing capacity to ramp up shots now, and lagged behind other countries in signing advance purchase agreements. Infighting between the central and local governments further complicates the prospect of importing supplies. And many are remembering the crowded gatherings encouraged by officials that most likely led India to its state of crisis. “The only answer is vaccination,” said Dr. Anand Krishnan of All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi. Details: Delhi’s chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, announced on Sunday that the city would start “unlocking” gradually next week if cases continued to fall, while acknowledging a “severe shortage” of vaccines. Currently, all businesses, except essential services like food deliveries and pharmacies, are closed, and public transit is shut down. The numbers: India became the third country to surpass 300,000 deaths, recording [303,720](~/AAAAAQA~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~~)as of Monday.

While Israel still benefits greatly from American assistance, analysts say that the country may have achieved effective autonomy from the United States. That changes U.S. leverage over Israel, our Interpreter columnist writes. American involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process has already declined, its call for a cease-fire coming only after an Egyptian-brokered agreement was nearing completion. Changes: Israel no longer needs American security guarantees to protect it from neighboring states, with which it has mostly made peace. Nor does it see itself as needing American mediation in the Palestinian conflict, which Israelis largely find bearable as it is. Once reliant on American arms, Israel now produces many weapons domestically. Numbers: In 1981, U.S. aid was equivalent to almost 10 percent of Israel’s economy. In 2020, at nearly $4 billion, it was closer to 1 percent.
