Sadat, Anwar (November 20, 1977), Address by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to the Knesset, place: Jerusalem, retrieved: October 9, 2018
“
Any life lost in war is the life of a human being, irrespective of whether it is an Arab or an Israeli. The wife who becomes widowed is a human being, entitled to live in a happy family, Arab or Israeli. Innocent children, deprived of paternal care and sympathy, are all our children, whether they live on Arab or Israeli soil.
