MENACHEM BEGIN
"I am feeling well, thank God…."
Typed Letter Signed: "M. Begin" as Israeli Prime Minister, in English, 1p, 6½x8¼.
Jerusalem, 1979 August 26. To Paul Hanley, West Orange, N.J. In full: "I thank you from
the heart for your kind get-well message. I am feeling well, thank God, and am now back
at my desk in the best of spirits. With every good wish." 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. Encapsulated. Fine condition.
