A family ceremony at Mount Herzl last Friday, 4 November, marked 21 years since the 1995 murder of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin by Jewish extremist Yigal Amir. A public commemoration on Saturday night at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv was organised by the Labor Party, which Rabin once led.

Speaking at the memorial service for her father, Rabin’s daughter Dalia warned that incitement against political adversaries continues in Israel’s political debates. ‘The incitement from before has not ended. Parts of the nation are still in denial and find ways to argue that maybe it was good to murder him.’

The slain prime minister was a model example of leadership that takes responsibility for its actions. He did not make excuses and did not hide behind IDF officers and the fighters on the ground. This is leadership in all its greatness.
