"On our return to Israel after completing our mission to remove the bones of the illegal immigrants of Cyprus from their graves abroad and to transfer them to Israel, I feel the need to express several words to you. You spent two weeks in Cyprus together with the other members of the delegation. Two weeks of special effort and ceaseless pressure, in order to fulfill the order of the Israeli government to repay the holy debt to the illegal immigrants, who did not merit to reach the shores of Israel in their lifetimes...".
