Yitzhak Rabin

Yitzhak Rabin (יצחק רבין in Hebrew, Itsjak Rabin in Dutch, Yitzhak Rabin in Spanish, Yitzhak Rabin in German, Yitzhak Rabin in French) was an Israeli statesman, military leader, and the fifth Prime Minister of Israel, serving two terms from 1974 to 1977 and from 1992 until his assassination in 1995. Born on March 1, 1922, in Jerusalem, then part of the British Mandate of Palestine, Rabin played a pivotal role in Israel's history, both as a military leader during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and as a key figure in the peace process with the Palestinians in the 1990s. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, alongside Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat, for his efforts in negotiating the Oslo Accords, a set of agreements aimed at achieving a peace treaty based on United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. Rabin's assassination on November 4, 1995, by a right-wing Israeli extremist, Yigal Amir, sent shockwaves through Israel and the international community, marking a tragic turn in the nation's political landscape.
