Minister of State at Ministry of Foreign Affairs holds phone call with Chinese Government’s Special Envoy on Middle East Issue

On November 4, 1995, former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin was tragically assassinated during a peace rally in Tel Aviv. The event, which aimed to foster peace between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), saw over 100,000 attendees. Rabin was shot by far-right Jewish activist Yigal Amir, who targeted him for agreeing to cede territory in exchange for peace during the Oslo Accords negotiations.

Despite being rushed to Ichilov Hospital for emergency surgery, Rabin succumbed to his injuries. Amir was sentenced to life imprisonment, with additional years for conspiracy and murder. Rabin, a well-known advocate for peace, had previously received an honorary doctorate and had played a crucial role in the successful Entebbe hostage rescue mission. He was also awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994.
