Yitzhak Rabin was a central figure in Israeli history, serving as the fifth Prime Minister of Israel in two non-consecutive terms, from 1974 to 1977 and again from 1992 until his assassination in 1995. Before his political career, Rabin had a distinguished military career, rising through the ranks of the Palmach and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). He played a significant role in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and later commanded the IDF as Chief of Staff during the Six-Day War in 1967, a decisive victory for Israel.
Rabin's second term as Prime Minister was particularly marked by his efforts to achieve peace with the Palestinians. He famously signed the Oslo Accords with PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat in 1993, for which he, Arafat, and Shimon Peres were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. These accords aimed to create a framework for peace and self-governance for Palestinians. His commitment to peace, however, also made him a controversial figure within Israel, leading to intense political polarization.
