Menajem Begin

Menajem Begin was an influential Israeli politician and the sixth Prime Minister of Israel, serving from 1977 to 1983. He was a key figure in the founding of the Likud party and played a significant role in Israeli history, particularly for his leadership during the Yom Kippur War and for signing the historic peace treaty with Egypt in 1979, which was the first peace agreement between Israel and an Arab country. Begin's tenure was marked by his hardline stance on security and his commitment to Jewish settlement in the West Bank, making him a polarizing figure in Israeli politics.
