They were not neutralised: with blood on their hands they became the 3,6 & 7th Prime Ministers of Israel. Terrorism was no longer required by then as they had won; except to murder the 5th Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, because he was trying to make a just peace.
Yes Begin was leader of terrorist group Irgun.
Anyway his motivation should come out in the trial.
The Irgun and Stern Gang were indeed neutralised. The Hagannah was not a terrorist organisation, but a perfectly legitimate military organisation. Likud was and is a political party, and not a terrorist organisation. It was Begin, incidentally, who as PM and leader of the Likud made peace with Egypt in 1978-9.
I don't know what trial you are referring to. Or what Rabin has to do with the terrorist groups that existed in the 1940s.
