Rabin assassinated by a right-wing extremist over Oslo

On 4 November 1995 Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by Yigal Amir, a right-wing religious Israeli opposed to the Oslo peace process, as he left a peace rally in Tel Aviv. The killing of a sitting prime minister by a fellow Jew traumatized Israel, crippled the peace camp, and is widely seen as a turning point that helped bring the right and Netanyahu to power in 1996.
