A former senior Israeli security official said that Israel will not be able to survive for the next generation. "

The Israeli official  explained  the reasons for that, according to his estimation, and he expressed  his fear of disappearing "for internal reasons and influences."

This former Israeli official added that "most of the economic and military burden in Israel will soon be borne by only 30% of the Israelis, and in this way, the Israeli society will not be spared from the problems that await it."

Yuval Diskin, the former head of the Shin Bet (Internal police service),  confirmed in his article in the newspaper "Yediot Aharonot" that there is a "strategic existential question that has made clear the extent of its seriousness.

Does Israel enjoy social cohesion, economic flexibility, military, and security strength that will ensure its existence for the next generation?

Diskin added that he is talking about demographic, social, and economic trends that are already changing the essence of Israel, and can endanger its existence within one generation

He warned that the pision between Israelis deepens, and the pision between right and left has become dominant much more than the dispute between Jews and Arabs, and the lack of trust. Regimes of government are increasing, corruption is spreading in the government, and social solidarity is weak."

He pointed out that "the regional power called Israel is unable to control many areas," explaining that "according to the figures of the Central Bureau of Statistics, we will soon discover that after 40 years, half of the population of Israel will be religious and Palestinian, and it is important to understand the common denominator between them today."

And why their future will shape the image of Israel and affect its ability to exist within 30 to 40 years?

He pointed out that "the Haredi Jews have become a burden, and that some of them are spreading in the anti-Zionist trends, and for them, Israel is on its way to a loss."

Diskin stated, "Besides the Haredim, there are multi-identity tribes, traditional secularism, religious nationalism, militant, Eastern and Ashkenazi  Jews, the middle class, the wealthy, the disenfranchised and the marginalized, who find it difficult to bear the extra burden as a result of the Orthodox lack of participation in the Israeli economy and society, military service, and the economy ".
