Hassan El-Bakouri, Minister of Wakfs (Religious Properties) of Egypt in a broadcast over “Saut El-Arab,” Government-controlled Egyptian Broadcasting Service:
“There is no reason why the faithful Fedayeen, hating their enemies, should not penetrate into Israel and transform the lives of its citizens into a hell. Yes, brother and sister Arabs! The Fedayeen will be victorious because their motives are holy and their aims are the highest. They will be victorious because they are more diligent in death than is Israel in life.”
