(one surface). Born in Poland, Menachem Begin (1913-1992) reached British
Palestine in 1943 to participate in the struggle for an independent state of
Israel. He served in the Knesset from its first session. In 1973, the
Likud Party was formed and Begin became its leader. When Likud won the elections
in 1977, he became Prime Minister. The following year, Begin and Egyptian
President Anwar el-Sadat received the Nobel Peace Prize for the peace
treaty they would sign the following year, after much of the Sinai was returned
to Egypt. In June 1981, Begin asked the Cabinet to approve the bombing of the
Iraqi nuclear reactor at Osirak. On Shavuot, Israeli planes flew below radar
detection through Arab air space and destroyed the facility, which Israel later
claimed had been primed for a start up. In 1982, Begin authorized the Israeli
invasion of Lebanon. In failing health and following the death of his wife,
Aliza, Begin stepped down in September 1983. Fine condition.
