About
David Ben-Gurion was born in Plonsk, Poland. He was the primary founder of the State of Israel and the first Prime Minister of Israel. As Prime Minister, he helped build the state institutions, presiding over various national projects aimed at the development of the country. Under his leadership, Israel responded aggressively to Arab guerrilla attacks, and in 1956, invaded Egypt along with British and French forces after Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal during what became known as the Suez Crisis. Posthumously, Ben-Gurion was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Important People of the 20th century.
