MENACHEM BEGIN
Small black and white publicity photograph of Menachem Begin walking
away from a plane during a visit of President Anwar Sadat to Israel.
Photograph signed: "M. Begin". B/w, 7x5 overall, image 5¾x4
(one surface). Captioned: "Visit of President Anwar Sadat to Israel, November
21-22, 1977: Arrival at Ben Gurion Airport." Born in Poland, 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. Begin and
Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat received the Nobel Peace Prize for the
peace treaty they signed in 1978, 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.
