Begin resigned and was succeeded by Yitzhak Shamir

In September 1983, Menachem Begin, a prominent figure in Israeli politics and a key leader of the Likud party, resigned from his position as Prime Minister of Israel. His resignation came during a tumultuous period marked by political and social challenges within the country. Following Begin's departure, Yitzhak Shamir, also from the Likud party, took over the premiership. This transition was significant as it represented a shift in leadership style and policy direction at a time when Israel was grappling with issues such as security concerns, economic difficulties, and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Shamir's leadership would later be characterized by a hardline stance on security and a commitment to the settlement movement in the West Bank. The political landscape further evolved with the inconclusive 1984 elections, which resulted in a power-sharing agreement between Shamir and Shimon Peres of the Alignment party, leading to a unique coalition government. This period set the stage for subsequent political developments in Israel, influencing the trajectory of its domestic and foreign policies well into the 1990s.
