We have gathered together, representatives of the Jewish settlement and the Zionist movement, on the day of the conclusion of the foreign mandate over Palestine, and with the validity of our natural and historic rights we hereby announce the establishment of the State of Israel.” It also includes original texts titled “Anachnu Nilcham” [we will fight] relating to national strength, a reference to the Holocaust and more.
