This decade opens focusing on the new political map in Israel with the rise of the right to the government and the peace agreement with Egypt. The second part of the decade deals with the Israeli reaction to the peace agreement and its price (evacuation of Sinai and Israeli settlements in Rafah Salient).
The first part of this room focuses on the great accomplishment of the Likud Government under the leadership of Menachem Begin – the peace agreement with Egypt. Thereafter, the room displays the price of this peace – evacuating Sinai and the demolition of Israeli settlements there. In addition, it presents the economic crisis of the 1980s and the ethnic polarization that grew progressively stronger during those years. The first Lebanon War and the rift it caused in Israeli society are shown in the second part of the room.
