Israel has failed to prepare for a major earthquake, State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman warned on Sunday, in the wake of the tremor that killed more than 2,000 people in Morocco.
“Despite warning signs, the State of Israel has failed in its preparation for an earthquake. Instead of waiting for a commission of inquiry after a tragedy has occurred, the prime minister and the relevant minister must correct the deficiencies immediately,” said Englman in a statement.
