Menachem Begin

Politiker, 1913-1992

"Geboren in Brest-Litowsk im heutigen Weißrussland, gelangte Begin 1942 in den Iran und nach Palästina, wo er Kommandeur der terroristischen Untergrundorganisation ""Irgun Tzwai Le’umi"" wurde und den Sprengstoffanschlag auf das King David Hotel 1946 in Jerusalem zu verantworten hatte. Nach der Staatsgründung Israels wandte er sich der Politik zu und stieg zum Minister, 1977 schließlich zum Ministerpräsidenten auf. In seine Amtszeit fiel sowohl der Friedensschluss mit Ägypten, für den er 1978 gemeinsam mit Muhammad Anwar as-Sadat den Friedensnobelpreis erhielt, als auch der erste Libanonkrieg. 1983 trat er als Ministerpräsident aufgrund ausbleibender Erfolge im Libanon zurück."

Begin, Menachem

Nobel Prize-winning Israeli prime minister (1913-1992). Signed postcard. no place, no date. 120 : 170 mm.
1.500 € (78227)

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’ Lukiškės 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..

4.500 € (78228)

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 Lukiškės 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..
