The 1977 Israeli Legislative Election: The 'Mahapakh'
The 1977 Israeli legislative election marked a historic political shift known as the 'Mahapakh'. For the first time since Israel's founding, the Likud party won the election, leading to Menachem Begin becoming Prime Minister. This broadcast also featured a milestone in Israeli media, as it was the first time television aired an exit poll upon the closing of polling stations. Haim Yavin famously announced the results, signaling a major transformation in the nation's political landscape.
