YITZHAK NAVON (born 1921) 5th President of Israel, 1978-1983 In 1946, Yitzhak Navon was drafted to head the Arabic Department of the Zionist military organization, the Haganah, in Jerusalem and held this position until the conclusion of Israel's War of Independence. He was posted for a short time to the Israeli missions in Uruguay and Argentina, but in 1951, Israel's Foreign Minister, Moshe Sharett, chose him as his political secretary. After Navon served two years with Sharett, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion requested his transfer to the prime minister's office to act as chief of the prime minister's secretariat. Navon remained t until Ben-Gurion's resignation in 1963. In this post Navon served as Ben-Gurion's secretary in his dealings with ministers and foreign dignitaries and as his shield against unwanted interventions. After leaving the prime minister's office in 1963, Navon joined the Ministry of Education and Culture, but by 1965 he was back in politics. He joined Ben-Gurion's Rafi party, a breakaway group from the Labour Party. He was elected to the Knesset and served as deputy speaker for seven years and as chairman of the Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee for four years.Yitzkah Navon was sworn in as Israel' s 5th President on May 29, 1978. He made his inaugural address to the Knesset speaking in Hebrew and then, in fluent Arabic, Navon appealed to Israel's Arab population and to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to ensure the success of the negotiations for a peace settlement. At 57, Navon was the youngest of Israel's first five presidents and the first born in Jerusalem and not in Europe. His family had resided continuously in Jerusalem for more than 300 years.
