35 more days until the elections. First of all, you need to have a piece of writing and a good signature. We will return today to the elections, to the eve of the 1977 elections. Alongside the upheaval, yes, these elections are remembered as the great upheaval of Begin's Likud, there was one iconic figure named Plato Sharon, he was a multi- millionaire from France, who fled to Israel because he was wanted there for interrogations due to all sorts of criminal charges that were linked to him. And he understands that here in Israel there is a framework agreement with France and he could be deported back to the country from which he fled. So he decides that he's running for the Knesset and that way he 'll have immunity as a member of Knesset and they won't be able to extradite him. He is truly a candidate who is holding a party. He calls for a one-man party, Plato Sharon. What happens is that he had the troubles of the rich because at that time the blocking percentage was very, very low and he received 35,000 votes, which is two seats. He entered the Knesset, but he had a problem. He simply didn't put anyone else on the list in addition to him, so he was one Knesset member who received two mandates, and later he also becomes famous for that famous sentence that said, "Don't ask what the state has done for you, ask what you have done for it." But he flees Safed because of criminal investigations, and here a criminal investigation is opened against him because there is suspicion and there is too much evidence that he offered electoral bribes. He promised people all sorts of significant things if they elected him to the Knesset, and so he actually won, and the Knesset makes a precedent-setting decision to remove his immunity. He is convicted in court and receives a ma'er punishment for community service. Later, he is once again investigated and once again he is incarcerated. I think he accepted that in practice, and what you taught us is that sometimes you run away, yes, you run away, which is part of your fate, but your fate meets you wherever you run away from. Have a wonderful day, good manners, as I said in the opening, a good signature.
