Golda Meir's primary significance in the Arab-Israeli conflict focuses on two different phases of her life. Prior to ascending to the Israeli Prime Ministry, Golda Meir was very important in galvanizing Western support for Israel, helping the country become independent and attracting immigrants.
When she became a Prime Minister, she was known for being surprised by the Egyptian and Syrian invasions on Yom Kippur of 1973. This was the first time that Israel was surprised by an Arab attack and this led to increased Israeli casualties and difficulties in winning the war. Even though Israel won the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 and restored a status quo antebellum, Israelis have faulted Golda Meir for this unpreparedness and the resultant loss in life.
Note: Since there is debate between Westerners and Arabs as to who won the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, please see this Related Question which discusses that debate: Which country won the Arab-Israeli War of 1973?
