Ex-Shin Bet chief: Conflict with Palestinians riskier for Israel than nuclear Iran
'I want a homeland that does not require the occupation of another people in order to maintain itself,' Yuval Diskin says.
On
the eve of another attempt by United States Secretary of State John
Kerry to revitalize the peace process, former Shin Bet chief Yuval
Diskin harshly criticized government policies regarding the Palestinians
and stated that the ramifications of failed negotiations are far graver
for Israel’s future than the Iranian nuclear program.
“We
need an agreement now, before we get to a point of no return, after
which a two-state solution will be impossible,” Diskin said at an event
commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Geneva Initiative. "I say it
even though it is unpopular to do so."Diskin said, “I would like to know that our home here has clear borders, and that we’re putting the sanctity of people before the sanctity of land. I want a homeland that does not require the occupation of another people in order to maintain itself."
