The Former head of ‘Israel Security Agency’ or the Shin Bet slammed the Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for handling peace talks with Palestinians.
According to the former Shin Bet chief, the lack of a permanent peace agreement with the Palestinians poses a greater threat to the Zionist entity than Iran's nuclear program.
In a conference held in Tel Aviv Museum marking ten years to the Geneva Initiative, Yuval Diskin called for the formation of a new government coalition formed of pro-peace parties.
”The implications of a lack of a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are more existential than the Iranian nuclear (program),” he said.
"It may now be the last opportunity to reach a two-state solution. The Geneva Initiative proposes a correct foundation for an agreement. Any accord has a low chance of survival without a regional agreement," said Diskin.
"The implications of no solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict pose a bigger existential threat than the ones of a nuclear Iran," he stated.
Diskin called on “prioritizing the sanctity of the people over the sanctity of the land, and to turn Israel into a country that does not require the occupation of another people.”
He added that Israel must freeze all further construction of settlements, and said that the amount of settlers in the West Bank has reached proportions that no government could uproot.
He further claimed that the move to free Palestinian prisoners "is a disgusting and cynical move that was born out of a desire to avoid freezing settlement construction."
Commenting on the peace process, Diskin noted "like an economic crisis, just the existence of hope can facilitate a process of growth. How do you do it? Those who were chosen and are known as supporters of the two-state solution need to implement a change in the current political map. In other words, there needs to be a coalition in which peace supporting parties are partners."
