• Like Ben Gurion at the time,
Menachem Begin – with Egypt, and
Rabin – in the peace treaty with
Jordan, and later Peres – with the first
steps towards the Palestinians, took
huge national, diplomatic, security and
political risks. Some paid a heavy
price. Yitzhak paid the ultimate price.
But they all dared – and acted. This is
the true test of leadership. This is also
the real test of creative statesmanship.
