Israel's History:
1977

1977:
by Nimrod Grinvald, Hagalil

Hey everyone, here's your timeline for the year 1977! Behold its glory...

  • Elections for the Ninth Knesset - Likud party wins elections, ending 29 years of Labor party rule; Menachem Begin becomes prime minister. The Likud party markedly steps up settlement construction in the occupied territories.

  • Egyptian President Sadat visits Jerusalem, breaking the cycle of Arab rejection of Israel.

  • Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team wins European Championship. (Yea!)

  • Prime Minister Begin permits a group of Vietnamese boat refugees to enter Israel.

  • The US-Israel Binational Agricultural Research and Development Fund and the US-Israel Binational Industrial R&D Foundation, supporting research and development in their respective fields, are founded.

  • Project Renewal, to improve the quality of life for inhabitants of distressed urban neighborhoods and towns, commences.
