This week marks the 15th anniversary of the assassination of Israel’s Yitzhak Rabin. A lot can happen in 15 years. Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza. 9/11. War in Iraq. Ahmadinejad’s election. But a lot stays the same too. No peace in Israel. A seemingly never-ending cycle of stop and go peace talks. So what kind of impact did Rabin have on the Middle East? On potential peace in the region? We bring you commentary from across the globe from political scientists and commentators:
- IJN Editorial, “Why it’s getting hard to remember Rabin“
- Yossi Sarid in Ha’aretz, “Rabin’s way is deserted“
- Jerusalem Post blog, Window on Israel
- Gil Hoffman in Jerusalem Post, “Rabin legacy in constant redefinition“
