Overview
- Journalist Michaël Darmon, writing on November 3, argues Rabin is celebrated abroad yet neglected in Israel’s national narrative.
- Darmon links the post‑1967 rise of messianic currents to the climate that later targeted Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995 for pursuing peace with the Palestinians.
- He maintains the forces that undermined the Oslo process remain consequential today, naming Hamas and the Israeli far right.
- Dalia Rabin, who stewards her father’s memory through the Rabin Center, acknowledges public discomfort with his assassination by a Jewish extremist and with his status as a symbol of a lost peace.
- Coverage marking the 30th anniversary reports a rightward shift in Israeli politics and notes a weak turnout at a Tel Aviv commemoration.
