In the previous Israel was forced to deal with several threats from Arab leaders. Already in 1965 Egyptian dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser announced: “We shall not enter Palestine with its soil covered in sand, we shall enter it with its soil saturated in blood”. On May 22, 1967 Syrian leader Nureddin al-Attasi told his troops “We want a full scale, popular war of liberation to destroy the Zionist enemy”. In the same month Nasser forced the UN Emergency Force to leave the Sinai Peninsula, where they were stationed since 1957.<ref>https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/263102/six-day-war-remembered-joseph-puder</ref>

[[Ahmad Shukeiri]] expressed his genocidal aims, including predicting that no one will survive.<ref>Iyunim biTkumat Israel, 11, 2001, pp. 141-132 [Merkaz le-moreshet Ben-Guryon].
Moshe Shemesh - Did Shuqayri call for 'throwing the Jews into the sea'?... The fact that in that statement he explicitly spoke of the extermination of Jews strengthened the credibility of the claim. That he called for throwing the Jews into the sea ...[https://in.bgu.ac.il/bgi/iyunim/11/5.pdf]</blockquote</ref>
Shukeiri incited the Arabs into a frenzy [[Jihad]]. He ''fired up his followers with injunctions for a "sacred war," like the Koran's: "Kill them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you."''<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/382480217/ The Los Angeles Times from Los Angeles, California, December 31, 1967, p. 28]:<blockquote>
Shukairy Steps Down It Might Be Said that Terror is his middle name.
"We will wipe Israel off the face of the map and no Jew will survive," warned Ahmed Shukairy last June. As head of the clandestine [[Palestine Liberation Organization]] for the past four years, Shukairy has been responsible for the murders of dozens of Israeli men, women and children in bloody midnight raids across the borders of Jordan and Syria.
A Jowly heavy-lidded Haifa lawyer, he fired up his followers with injunctions for a "sacred war," like the Koran's: "Kill them wherever you find them. Drive them out of the places from which they drove you." Israel and the Jews have by no means been Shukairy's only targets. - He hates the United States nearly as much and isn't terribly fond of Jordan either. With characteristic temperance he once said that anyone "who ever dares to speak in public of Arab friendship-with the United States in any Arab village or town would be torn to pieces." He once described Jordan's moderate king as the "tyrant of Amman, Hussein; who betrayed Allah, the "Prophet"...</blockquote></ref>

... The dark warnings of Arab leaders about what would happen to Israel if their forces were to triumph had been all too explicit. Only a week before the outbreak of fighting, [[Egypt]]'s president, [[Gamal Abdul Nasser]], had threatened that "this will be a total war. Our basic aim is the destruction of Israel." And the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization, [[Ahnad Shukeiri|Ahmed Shukairy]], had added to the sense of looming tragedy, "Those native-born Israelis who survive can remain in Palestine. But I estimate that none of them will survive."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Again, Arab leaders began to vie with each other on promising genocide for the Jews of the Holy Land. It was to be a war of extermination in which not a man, woman, or child should be spared, announced Ahmed Shukeiri, the bloodthirsty organizer of commando units in the Arab refugee camps. Nasser promised to place Shukeiri's men in the front ranks when he invaded.</blockquote>
