The source of the accusation against Shuqayri came from an announcement he made at a press conference in East Jerusalem on June 2, 1967, after stop- ping off in Amman on the way back from Cairo in King Hussein's plane (Hussein left for Cairo on May 30 and returned the same day). According to the Lebanese daily Al-Yawm (3 June 1967), Shuqayri was asked what would happen to the citizens of Israel if the Arabs won the war. His answer: 'We will endeavor to assist [the Jews] and facilitate their departure by sea to their countries of origin.' Regarding the fate of Israeli-born Jews, he replied: 'Whoever survives will stay in Filastin, but in my opinion no one will remain alive.'

Mr Shukairy is indignant that such extremism should be fathered on him alone ...

Shukairy sank into obscurity, and later (in May 1971) published his apologia, which he called Dialogues and Secrets with Kings (in Beirut in Arabic).
