| | Political milestones in the 1970s | | In GovernmentIn 1969, Peres was appointed Minister of Absorption and in 1970 he became the Minister of Transportation and Communications. In 1974, after a period as Information Minister, he was appointed Minister of Defense in the Yitzhak Rabin government having been Rabin's chief rival for the post of Prime Minister after Golda Meir resigned in the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War. During this time, Peres continued to challenge Rabin for the chairmanship of the party, but in 1977, he again lost to Rabin in the party elections.First time acting as Prime MinisterPeres suceeded Rabin as party leader prior to the 1977 elections when Rabin stepped down in the wake of a foreign currency scandal involving his wife. As Rabin could not legally resign from the transition government, he officially remained Prime Minister, while Peres became the unofficial acting Prime Minister.

to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while atheists had no
holiday to celebrate.The case was brought before a wise judge. After listening to the long
passionate presentation by the lawyer, the Judge banged his gavel and
declared "Case dismissed!"The lawyer immediately stood and objected to the ruling and said,
"Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances. Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah...yet my client and all other atheists have no such holiday!" The judge leaned forward in his chair and simply said, "Obviously your
client is too confused to even know about, much less celebrate his own
atheists' holiday!"The lawyer pompously said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any such
holiday for atheists. Just when might that holiday be, your Honor?"The judge said, "Well it comes every year on exactly the same
