Religion played a decisive role in both governments of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
In Ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh was believed to have descended from the realm of the Gods. His role was that of an intermediary between them and the people of the empire. His obligation was to sustain rituals for the gods in order to maintain an order in the universe. Massive amounts of resources were also assigned to the creation of temples where these rituals were held.
In Mesopotamia, the King was considered as a religious leader. He exercised the cult with the help of specialists whose task was to serve as an intermediary between men and the gods. These group of specialists included a "supervising" priest for purification against demons, priests for the purification of the temple, and priests for appeasing the anger of the gods and its subsequent wrath.

Details:
Golda Meir was born in Kiev, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire), in 1898. Her family emigrated to the United States in 1906, where they settled in Milwaukee, WI. Golda Meir became a Zionist activist and helped raise funds for the settlement and establishment of Israel. She and her husband moved to the Palestine Mandate territory in 1921, becoming settlers in a kibbutz there. (Kibbutzes were collective farming settlements.)
Meir later went on to become prime minister of Israel, holding that office from 1969 to 1974. She was the fourth prime minister of Israel, and has been the only woman to hold that office. Meir was in office as prime minister during the time that Israeli athletes were attacked at the Munich Olympics in 1972, and also during the October War in 1973 (also known as the Yom Kippur War or the Ramadan War).
