The correct option is "She developed Israel’s infrastructure to support immigrants. "

Golda Meir, was a politician, diplomat and, as a statesman, the fifth prime minister of Israel. She was the first woman in Israel and third in the world to assume such a high office. His intransigent policy and leadership style earned him the nickname "Iron Lady."

Before being Head of Government she was ambassador of the State of Israel in the Soviet Union, Minister of Labor, Minister of the Interior and Minister of Foreign Affairs. She was elected general secretary of Mapai in 1966 and became the leader of the opposition, as well as the first woman to lead a major political party in Israel. After the sudden death of Levi Eshkol, the party elected Meir as its successor, taking office on March 17, 1969.

His mandate was marked by internal struggles within the coalition cabinet, with serious disagreements and conflicts. Golda finally resigned in 1974, leaving the address to his successor, Isaac Rabin.
