1. The U.S. Is Entering a New COVID-19 Vaccination Crisis In the past three weeks, every adult in the U.S. has become eligible for COVID-19 vaccines, which are now widely available in most parts of the country. Yet there has been an alarming decline in the number of Americans showing up to get vaccinated, even though less than half of the population has 2. received even a single dose. While data on the progress of the vaccine rollout are difficult to parse given the many moving pieces, this is almost certainly a sign that a large number of adults remain vaccine hesitant. In the first several months of the rollout, as states debugged the complex logistics of distributing their allotted vaccines, the population of people eager for a shot vastly outnumbered the awaiting 3. syringes. Now, supply clearly outweighs demand. After cresting at over 2 million on April 13, the number of people receiving their first dose of a vaccine each day—the best metric to show real-time vaccine hesitancy —has stood below 1 million for more than a week . Before declaring a crisis in vaccine hesitancy, let’s consider an alternate explanation: Could there be a bottleneck in availability as a vastly larger population of people have become eligible? Unlikely. The total number of doses allocated to the states each week by the U.S. Department of Health and 4. Human Services has remained steady at about 18 million since early April, and states have recently been using around 75-80% of the doses they have ordered. In fact, some states are now ordering fewer doses than they are being offered, as the New York Times recently reported, suggesting a drop in demand. There’s another twist to the vaccination slowdown: the data strongly suggest that an increasing number of people are only showing up for their first dose of the two-shot Pfizer-BioNTech or 5. Moderna vaccines, and forgoing their second shot. Through April 9, 8% of first dose recipients who were eligible for their second shot had not yet received it, the CDC said last month. That amounted to 5 million people at the time.

Twenty-four people, including nine children, have died in Gaza, the enclave’s health ministry has announced, following all-night airstrikes from the Israeli military, which accused Palestinian militants of launching more than 200 rockets. 3. After weeks of intense violence in Jerusalem, Hamas, the Islamist group that rules inside Gaza, fired a barrage of rockets towards the holy city on Monday evening, believed to be the first time it had targeted the city in more than seven years. 4. In Gaza, health officials said seven members of a single family, including three children, had died in an explosion. It was not clear if the blast was caused by an Israeli airstrike or rocket that landed short. 5. Israel’s military said it had killed 15 Hamas “operatives” and a Hamas battalion commander. Israeli medics reported six Israeli civilians were hurt by rocket fire, including wounded from broken glass and shrapnel .

1. The Story Behind TIME’s First-Ever BIPOC (“black, indigenous and people of color”) -Led Issue 2. A year ago, we at TIME started talking about the ways we’ve fallen short. 3. Soon after George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis, staffers from across the organization began sharing painful memories of being mistreated in our workplace and de manding change. 4. I called Edward, our editor-in-chief, whose words you usually read in this space, to ask if he would consider inviting the people in our newsroom who identify as Black, Indigenous and people of color to lead our coverage of racial justic e. 5. For all of our focus on telling stories about the need for diversity and inclusion, we needed a push toward centering the voices of our own staff in that work; this was just one of many shifts in perspective we’ve held one another accountable for mak ing over the past year. 6. The result of that conversation is this week’s cover package, Visions of Equity. It’s the first of its kind for TIME —a project dreamed up and led by BIPOC staff.

1. Liz Cheney refuses to rule out run for president in bid to thwart Trump [Elizabeth Lynne Cheney (born July 28, 1966) is an American attorney and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district since 2017. Cheney was the Chair 2. of the House Republican Conference, the third-highest position in the House Republican leadership, from 2019 to 2021. She was removed from the position by a voice vote of the House Republican Conference on May 12, 2021.] Liz Cheney has refused to rule out running for US president if it would prevent Donald Trump from 3. ever taking charge of the White House again, saying she will do “whatever it takes” to stop her fellow Republican. Cheney, who on Wednesday was ousted as House Republican conference chair by her colleagues, in 4. a voice vote behind closed doors, was asked three times on NBC’s Today show in an interview aired on Thursday whether she would run to stymie a comeback by the former president. 5. While not saying directly that she would, she declined to dismiss the suggestion each time. Trump’s hold on the Republican party is the “most important issue that we are facing right now as a 6. country, and we’re facing a huge array of issues, so he must not ever again be anywhere close to the Oval Office”, Cheney said. “Right now I’m very focused on making sure that our party becomes again a party that stands for truth and stands for fundamental principles that are conservative and mostly stands for the 7. constitution, and I won’t let a former president or anyone else unravel the democracy,” she told NBC’s Savannah Guthrie.

Clashes in Jerusalem and West Bank(1) amid protests and strikes 1. One man killed and more than 70 wounded by live fire as Palestinians hurl stones at Israeli checkpoint Serious clashes erupted in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank on Tuesday as Palestinians took 2. part in a day of protests and strikes over Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. A Palestinian man was killed and more than 70 wounded, including 16 by live fire, on the outskirts 3. of Ramallah, according to the Palestinian Authority health ministry. Two Israeli soldiers were injured. Hundreds of Palestinians burned tyres and hurled stones at an Israeli military checkpoint. Troops 4. fired teargas canisters at the crowd. 5. Large crowds also gathered in Nablus, Bethlehem, Hebron and other towns in the West Bank. In Jerusalem, police deployed water cannon in the neighbourhood Sheikh Jarrah, where Palestinian families are facing eviction from homes they have lived in since the 1950s.

(1) The West Bank is a landlocked territory near the Mediterranean coast of Western Asia, bordered by Jordan and the Dead Sea to the east and by Israel to the south, west and north. The name West Bank is a translation of the Arabic term ad-Diffah I-Garbiyyah, given to the territory west of the Jordan River that fell, in 1948, under occupation and administration by Jordan, which subsequently annexed it in 1950. This annexation was considered illegal and was recognized only by Britain, Iraq and . The term was chosen to differentiate the west bank of the River Jordan from the "east bank" of this river. Cisjordan: The neo- name Cisjordan or Cis-Jordan (literally "on this side of the River Jordan") is the usual name for the territory in the and Hungarian. The name West Bank, however, has become the standard usage for this geopolitical entity in English and some of the other Germanic languages since its creation following the Jordanian army's conquest.
