Yitzhak Rabin, who served as Israel's prime minister, was tragically assassinated on November 4, 1995, by a right-wing extremist opposed to the peace process he was promoting with the Palestinians. Rabin's assassination marked a significant and somber turning point in Israeli history, occurring after he had signed the Oslo Accords, which aimed to establish a framework for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). The assassin, Yigal Amir, justified his actions by claiming that Rabin was endangering Israel's security through his concessions to the Palestinians. The assassination sent shockwaves throughout Israel and the world, leading to widespread mourning and a reevaluation of the peace process. In the aftermath, the event highlighted the deep political divisions within Israeli society and raised questions about the security of public figures in a highly polarized environment. Rabin's legacy continues to be a topic of debate, as many view him as a champion of peace, while others see him as a controversial figure due to his decisions during his tenure, including military actions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
