September 1982 CE

The Likud leadership announces plans for ten new settlements in the face of Reagan's call for a settlement freeze, while Begin writes Reagan a letter with a lesson on "simple historic truth".

The embattled prime minister does not have much time left, however.

Grieving over Israeli losses and the operation's tragic outcome, Israelis mount massive street demonstrations against the Begin government.

An ailing Begin, devastated by his wife's death and the war's outcome, resigns in September and retreats into a reclusive retirement.

Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir replaces him.
