1page. 4to. On blind embossed prime minister stationery. To Arthur O. Shackman in California. "I am taking this first opportunity, following the departure of President Sadat, to thank you sincerely for your warm letter of good wishes. We shall continue to work to the best of our ability for the achievement of the noble goal to establish peace and assure Israel's security and independence for generations to come." A militant Russian Zionist, Begin survived torture in Lukik s Prison and enforced labor in a Russian gulag, eventually settling in the British Mandate of Palestine. There he became a prominent leader and opponent of Britain's presence in the region. Following Israel's statehood Begin became an outspoken and indefatigable member of the opposition party in the Knesset, which culminated in his election as prime minister in 1977. On November 19, 1977, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat (1918-1981) became the first Arab leader to visit Israel during which he addressed the Knesset. Sadat's unprecedented visit opened up diplomatic communications that led to the Camp David Accords for which Begin and Sadat were awarded the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize. Begin remained prime minister until 1983 when he was succeeded by Yitzhak Rabin. Folded with light creasing. In very good condition. A fine letter with an historic association.

112 : 86 mm. Rückseitig Montagereste. Seltenes Portrait zusammen mit seiner Frau Alizza und Sohn Benyamin-Zeev, aufgenommen im Dezember 1946 in Tel Aviv. Von Begin signiert. Leichte Bräunung. Selten in dieser Form. Als Begin 1942 in Palästina aus der Armee entlassen wurde, trat er in die zionistische terroristische Untergrundorganisation Irgun Zwai Leumi (auch als Etzel bekannt) ein und wurde 1943 deren Anführer.Begin war verantwortlich für den Sprengstoffanschlag auf das King David Hotel 1946 in Jerusalem, bei dem 91 Menschen ums Leben kamen (unter anderem 28 britische Staatsangehörige, 41 Araber, 17 Juden).Unter Begins Befehl wurden zwei britische Soldaten Clifford Martin und Mervyn Paice entführt und gehängt.[1] Begin wurde anschließend von den Briten steckbrieflich gesucht. Er tarnte sich unter anderem als bärtiger Rabbi Sassover.[2]Umstritten ist Menachem Begins Verwicklung in das Massaker von Deir Yasin vom 9. April 1948 an Arabern. Allerdings hat Begin selbst von einem Massaker gesprochen und dieses gerechtfertigt.[3] Viele Historiker, so der in Exeter lehrende Israeli Ilan Pappe,[4] werfen der von Begin geführten Irgun, aber auch der israelischen Führung, systematische ethnische Säuberung und Massaker an der palästinensisch-arabischen Bevölkerung vor.

120 : 170 mm. A postcard reproduction of the front page of the May 16, 1948 edition of The Palestine Post, announcing the birth of the state of Israel, signed by Begin in the lower right blank margin in black ink. Palestine had been part of the Ottoman Empire since the 15th century but, in December 1917, the British captured Jerusalem during their Sinai and Palestine Campaign and added northern Palestine the following year. After the war and a military occupation, the League of Nations established the British Mandate for Palestine which lasted from 1923 to 1948. With the British government's passage of the Palestine bill on April 29, 1948, the British Mandate was terminated effective May 15, 1948. One day prior to the end of the mandate, on May 14, 1948, Jewish Agency Chairman David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the birth of the State of Israel. The Palestine Post (later renamed The Jerusalem Post) printed its famous headline two days later, on May 16, 1948. A militant Russian Zionist, Begin survived torture in Vilnius' Lukik s Prison and enforced labor in a Russian gulag, eventually settling in the British Mandate of Palestine, where he became a prominent leader in the Jewish uprising to force a British withdrawal from the region. After Israel's founding, Begin became an outspoken and indefatigable member of the Likud opposition party in the Knesset until his election as prime minister in 1977. He was awarded the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat for the Camp David Accords, and remained prime minister until 1983 when he was succeeded by Yitzhak Rabin.

framed. Condition: near fine. Anwar Sadat, Jimmy Carter, Menahem Begin and other Camp David delegates examine a canon during a trip to the Gettysburg National Military Park. Photograph taken Sept 10th, 1978. Signed by Cater, Sadat and Begin. The Camp David Accords were a pair of political agreements signed by Egyptian president Anwar Sadat and Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin on 17 September 1978, following twelve days of secret negotiations at Camp David, the country retreat of the president of the United States in Maryland. The two framework agreements were signed at the White House and were witnessed by President Jimmy Carter. The second of these frameworks (A Framework for the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel) led directly to the 1979 Egypt - Israel peace treaty. Due to the agreement, Sadat and Begin received the shared 1978 Nobel Peace Prize. The first framework (A Framework for Peace in the Middle East), which dealt with the Palestinian territories, was written without participation of the Palestinians and was condemned by the United Nations.
