Former Shin Bet Chief Yuval Diskin on Monday attacked the leaders of the center and left parties at Calcalist's 2019 conference.

"Our political system is delusional," Diskin said."All parties are founded around messiahs - Lapid, Ganz, Livni and Kahlon - these are dictatorial parties. Today there are no parties of values, no ideology, and the atmosphere is transparently drab, with no commitments."

"This is a political system where everything is more of the same. The right is divided into a new right. There is no longer any left in the State of Israel because Meretz has forgotten Zionism. Politics is a joke. Something new must be created and it cannot be done in the next four months."

"The new politics should not be built on messiahs, but on people who present a significant conceptual and ideological alternative," he said.

Referring to the Nationality Law, Diskin said: "People have sand in their eyes and don't see the real issue. The only thing that will make Israel a Jewish and democratic state is a Jewish majority. If there is no Jewish majority, then it will not be neither Jewish nor democratic. The politicians do not want to deal with the real question of how to preserve a Jewish majority in the country."

"This question leads them to other questions they do not want to deal with, such as the question of two states or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Diskin said. "The Nationality Law will not suffice to preserve it, but will accomplish the job of harming the democratic character of the State of Israel."
