Our basic objective will be the destruction of Israel. The Arab people — Six-Day War Waiting period

"We will not accept any…coexistence with Israel…Today the issue is not the establishment of peace between the Arab states and Israel…The war with Israel [has been] in effect since 1948"

"You are the victims of aggression."

"Israel on her part will not initiate hostile acts, but she is firmly resolved to defend her territory and her international rights. Our decision is that if Egypt will not attack us, we will not take action against Egyptian forces at Sharm el-Sheikh—until or unless they close the Straits of Tiran to free navigation by Israel"

"As of today, there no longer exists an international emergency force to protect Israel. We shall exercise patience no more. We shall not complain any more to the UN about Israel. The sole method we shall apply against Israel is total war, which will result in the extermination of Zionist existence."

"We are ready for war, our armed forces and all our people are ready for war, we have built a strong national army and achieved our objectives."

"Arab masses, this is your day. Rush to the battlefield.... Let them know that we shall hang the last imperialist soldier with the entrails of the last Zionist"
