Rabin assassinated

November 4, 1995

After a peace rally in Tel Aviv, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was shot in the back by a young religious nationalist opposed to the Oslo Accords. He died in the ambulance. The peace process survived him in name only. Within a few years the second intifada would begin and the Oslo era would be buried with its architect.
