July 16, 1966 Yusuf Zu’ayyin, Prime Minister of Syria

“The Zionists’ criminal methods will not affect the march of the revolution and will not be met with the traditional known policy.  The popular liberation war which the Palestinian masses, backed by the Arab masses in the whole Arab homeland, have determined to wage, will foil the methods of Israel and those behind it.  We say to Israel: Our reply will be harsh and it will pay dearly.”
