Remembering Yitzhak Rabin: We Miss You Haver

Description

Episode Description

On Saturday evening, November 4, 1995, 25 years ago: Yitzkah Rabin, the first Israeli Prime Minister born in Israel was assassinated by Yigal Amir, an Israeli law student at Bar Ilan University and a religious, right-wing extremist. It happened at the Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv, now named Rabin Square, after a Peace Rally under the slogan "Yes to Peace-No to Violence", with over a hundred thousand supporters in attendance.

The assassination represented the beginning of the end of one of the most hopeful, and also divisive eras in Israeli history- the peace process between the Palestinians and Israelis initiated by The Oslo Accords, a groundbreaking agreement led by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Yassir Arafat, Chairman of the Palestinian Authority with the strong support of US President Bill Clinton.

We try to remember Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin as a person, a soldier, and a statesman, delve into the Oslo Accords and the peace process and reckon with what has happened in Israeli society since the tragedy of Rabin's assassination.
