In a scathing commentary, the author criticizes the government's delay in taking measures to protect livestock farms from foot-and-mouth disease. He points out that the first cases were detected in the occupied territories as early as December, but the response was slow and inadequate. The author highlights the lack of foresight and the unjustified delay in starting the vaccination of animals in the free areas, leaving room for the spread of the disease.
