8 times
10 times

Answer

Before becoming Prime Minister, Menachem Begin failed to win the national election 8 times. This was because he was not seen as a viable candidate by many Israelis, and he was often seen as being too extreme in his views. However, he eventually won the 1977 election, and served as Prime Minister of Israel from 1977 to 1983.
