TLS in Hebrew, signed “D. Ben-Gurion,” one page, 6 x 8, State of Israel letterhead, May 14, 1955. Letter addressed simply “Dear Friend.” In full: “I have received your letter, and your loyalty is very precious to me. Following the coup d’état which was carried out by the present heads of Egypt, the Government which I headed welcomed the rebels against King Farouq, and I expressed my hope that the revolution would bring blessings to the Egyptian people, the Egyptian peasants, the Egyptian laborers, and would pave a new road of peace for itself. It is regrettable that the heads of Egypt have disappointed our hope, and the hope of the Egyptian people, as the heads of Egypt have repudiated their people and cast it down, and they are now seeking to embroil it in a war with Israel. I am certain and convinced that the Egyptian tyrant will pay a heavy price for his aggression.” In fine condition, with bisecting folds, pencil notation at bottom, and two punch holes to right edge. The revolution Ben-Gurion refers to, known as the July 23 Revolution, began with a military coup d’état on July 23, 1952 by a group of young army officers who named themselves the Free Officers Movement. The revolution was initially aimed at overthrowing King Farouk I. However, the movement had more political ambitions and soon moved to abolish the constitutional monarchy and establish a republic.
