In 1973, the Likud Party was formed and Menachem Begin (1913-1992) became its
leader. When Likud won the elections in 1977, he became Prime Minister. It was
during this tenure in 1978, that 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
airspace and destroyed the facility, which Israel later claimed had been primed
for a start up. In 1982, he authorized the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. In
failing health and following the death of his wife, Aliza, Begin stepped down in
September 1983. Lightly creased. Nicked at upper left corner. Overall, fine
condition.
