Begin's refusal to ultimately follow through on frameworks agreed to in the Camp David accords (including, specifically, the matter of settlements in Palestine). I feel like you can draw a straight line to Begin's deception of President Carter and unwillingness to check his country's movement into Gaza.

Rabin's assassination just helped the 'right wing' solidify their hold and reluctance to negotiate any compromise with Palestinians.
