Golda Meir was an important figure to the people of Israel. The most baffling part about her was that she was a woman amongst many men apart of the Israeli government, who was indeed representing all of the citizens of Israel. She was the 4th Prime Minister of Israel, was elected on March 17, 1969. For as she was also considered the “Mother of Israel”. As Golda Meir strived for major change for Israel and wanting to establish peace with the Arabs, although, herself, did not acknowledge them as Palestinians either; she has made history with all that she has done.
During her time, conflict between the Arabs and also the Israelis was incredible. Violence broke out, even towards deadly wars amidst the Arabs and Israelis. But what was the conflict …show more content…
Later on, this chaos led to the Yom Kippur War on October of 1973. The Yom Kippur War was the 4th war between the Arab-Israeli Conflict; the countries that attacked Israel was Syria and Egypt.
