A call for the destruction of Israel and denunciation of Israel’s “imperialistic” supporters is made in a new speech by King Saud released here by the Saudi Arabian Embassy today.
Speaking on the occasion of his fourth anniversary of accession to the throne of Saudi Arabia the King reminded Arabs they “still face the dangerous and evil threat of Zionism which we should combat with all our powers and potentialities.” He said “Zionism has been able to dig its claws into the body of Arab Palestine, that holy and dear land to every Moslem and Arab.”
Since its “abominable beginning,” he said, Israel “has rallied imperialistic states and plotted and intrigued them against the Arabs in order to achieve its expansionist ambition in the Arab countries and impose upon them its domination and oppression.” Declaring his nation “shall never rest and we shall never have peace in this Arab area so long as this imposter and cancer imperils our existence,” he called on all Arabs and Moslems to “make every sacrifice to uproot this cancer, get rid of its evils and return the refugees to their homes and restore to them their property.”
