Menahem Begin
Menahem Begin (1913-1992) was an Israeli politician and the sixth Prime Minister of Israel, serving from 1977 to 1983. A leader of the right-wing Likud party, Begin is best known for his role in the peace process with Egypt, culminating in the historic Camp David Accords in 1978. He was a controversial figure, admired for his strong leadership and commitment to Israeli nationalism, yet criticized for his hardline policies towards the Palestinians. Begin's tenure marked a significant shift in Israeli politics, as it was the first time a Likud leader held the premiership, breaking the long-standing dominance of the Labor party. His legacy continues to influence Israeli politics and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
