Iraqi (ex)-President Saddam Hussein: Speech to the Arab Cooperation Council

The late Saddam Hussein gave a speech to the Arab Cooperation Council (1990), suggesting that the Arab nations work together to combat Israel, Zionism, the United States, and other such things. Hussein elaborates upon this point by explaining how the Arab nations are stronger when united, and weaker when divided. Hussein wishes for a pan-Arab alliance in order to combat the seemingly indestructible country of Israel. Hussein is obviously aiming this at the Council he is speaking to, and does so in a formal tone.

Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser: Speech at UAR Advanced Air Headquarters

Gamal Abdel Nasser, the president of Egypt during the six-day war, issued a speech (1967), in which he claims that Egypt and the Islamic Alliance should fight an aggressive war against Israel.

The purpose of his speech is to garner support from Arabs in the Islamic alliance in order to achiever his call to arms against Israel. The Egyptian President aims for this speech to be read by every Arab that is touched by the Islamic alliance.

Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban: Speech at the Special Assembly of the United Nations

Abba Eban, the Israeli prime minister during the period of the six-day war, formulated a speech (1967) in which he defends Israel's right to exist and its right to defend itself from aggressive Arab attack. The support for this point is derived from anti-Israel quotes from leaders of the Arab side and also a brief history of Israel's difficult past (which may have been overly dramatized). Eban's purpose in this speech is to spread the idea that Israel has a right to self-defense from an aggressive act of violence that stems from the Islamic Alliance. Eban establishes a formal relationship with his intended audience of the western world.
