Title Former Prime Minister Menachem Begin, has hardly been seen in public over the past seven years, Begin, now 76 years old, lives the life of a virtual recluse in his Jerusalem home, He is never interviewed by the media or photographed except at what has become an annual pilgrimage to the grave of his wife, Aliza, on the anniversary of her death, which occur seven years ago today.
Scope and content What has become almost an annual media event, is the turn out by family and past colleagues of Menachem Begin as he makes his way towards the graveside of his wife in the Mount of 01ives cemetery in Jerusalem. Begin has cut himself off from public life completely, ever since he resigned following the Lebanese War, which was, from Israel's point of view, regarded as a fiasco by most commentat¬ors. The man who once shared the stage with Presidents Carter and Sadat, when the Israel/Egypt peace treaty was signed, makes no comment either directly or indirectly on Israel's problems today. Only history will tell us what has gone on in the past seven years behind the closed doors of Menahem Begin's life. Photo shows: The picture shows Menachem Begin while standing at the graveside of his late wife Aliza, on the Mount of Olives cemetery in Jerusalem. His daughter Hasia and son Benny are at his side.
