Menachem Begin was an Israeli politician, founder of the major right-wing political party Likud and the sixth Prime Minister of Israel. His most significant achievement as Prime Minister was the signing of a peace treaty with Egypt in 1979, for which he and Anwar Sadat shared the Nobel Prize for Peace. Before the creation of the state of Israel, Begin was a prominent leader of the Zionist underground organization Irgun during the British Mandate in Palestine.
