The link I'm sharing is to an article from August 24 2021 which studied the post infection and post vaccination infection rates in Israel. It noted those "vaccinated" were 13 times more likely to get reinfected ("breakthrough infections" ) than those who had been infected without having been vaccinated (reinfections). There was 27.02 fold increase in symptomatic breakthrough infections in comparison to symptomatic reinfections. With regard to hospital admissions post infection or post vaccination, the vaccinated had 7 x the rate of hospital admission in comparison to the previously infected. You can pasted the following link into your browser to get to the article. https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415
These results alone could explain most of your second graph. However, Israel and Palestine have very different medical systems and poverty rates such that it is likely that some of the explanation may need to include underreporting in Palestine. Higher income and easier access to health care in Israel should explain some of the graph as that is certainly a confounding variable.

unfortunately, that just shows infection >> vaccination. It doesn't compare vaxxed to naieve.
