Yitzhak Rabin (1995)

The assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by Yigal Amir on 4 November 1995 terminated the Oslo Peace Process at the moment it had the best chance of producing a two-state solution. Rabin, a former general who had genuinely evolved toward peace, was the only Israeli leader with the security credibility to make territorial concessions. His death ended the realistic possibility of peace for a generation.
