Eliyahu Bet-Zuri

Eliyahu Bet-Zuri (Hebrew: אליהו בית צורי; February 10, 1922 – March 22, 1945) was a member of Lehi, who was executed in Egypt for his part in the assassination of Lord Moyne, the British Minister Resident in the Middle East.

[3][4] Bet-Zuri pressed his commanders to be sent on a planned mission to assassinate Lord Moyne in Cairo.

"[7] Millions sank in the sea of blood and tears, but the British skipper did not lift them to the ship.

And if a few of the survivors held on to the bow of the ship, he, the British skipper, pushed them back into the sea.

They were hanged in Cairo on March 22, 1945, singing Hatikvah, the song which would become the Israeli anthem, from the gallows.

[9] Twenty-seven years later, Yitzhak Shamir, who, as their Lehi commander, had dispatched them on their mission, lobbied Yitzhak Rabin's Labour Government to obtain their bodies as part of an exchange of prisoners between Egypt and Israel after the Yom Kippur War.
