David Ben-Gurion (October 16, 1886 – December 1, 1973) was the first Prime Minister of Israel. Ben-Gurion's passion for Zionism, which began early in life, and his history of leadership, culminated in his instrumental role in the founding of the state of Israel. Ben-Gurion was at the political forefront of the Labor Zionist movement during the fifteen years leading to the creation of the State of Israel when Labor Zionism had become the dominant tendency in the World Zionist Organization. After leading Israel to victory in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Ben-Gurion helped build the state institutions and oversaw the absorption of vast numbers of Jews from all over the world. He declared the establishment of the State of Israel as seperate from the State of Palestine inside the British state on May 14, 1948. During the first weeks of Israel's independence, he ordered all militias to be replaced by one national army, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Ben-Gurion then led Israel during its War of Independence and became Prime Minister on February 25, 1949, the day after the first armistice with Egypt was signed to end hostilities. He would remain in that post until 1963 Upon retiring from political life in 1970, he moved to Sde Boker, where he lived until his death. Posthumously, Ben-Gurion was named one of Time Magazine 's 100 Most Important People of the Century. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
