- 9 years ago
Israel will mark on Sunday the 20th anniversary of the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin with a series of commemorative events that will continue throughout the week.
At the same time, a ceremony organized by the national youth groups to mark the 20th anniversary will be held at the Yitzhak Rabin Center in Tel Aviv, attended by Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Dalia Rabin, the late prime minister's daughter, who also serves as the chairwoman of the Yitzhak Rabin Center, as well as representatives of student unions and youth movements.
On Monday, the state memorial ceremony for Rabin will be held at Mount Herzl, attended by President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein.
"Especially now, in these times of intolerance and incitement, the message stemming from Rabin's assassination is as relevant as ever: 'No violence - ever,'" wrote Education Minister Bennett in a letter he sent to schools across the country.
