Rabin in c. 1970s

Yitzhak Rabin^[1] (March 1, 1922–November 4, 1995) was an Israeli politician and general. He was the fifth Prime Minister of Israel from 1974 until 1977 and again from 1992 until his assassination in 1995 by Yigal Amir, a right-wing activist who had strongly opposed Rabin's signing of the Oslo Accords and to peace with Palestine. He was the first local-born Prime Minister of Israel, the only Israeli Prime Minister to be killed and the second to die in office (following Levi Eshkol).

In 1994, Yitzhak Rabin was one of the three recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize.^[2] The others were Yasser Arafat and Shimon Peres. All three got the prizes for trying to make peace in the Middle East.

he was buried on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem.
