INTRODUCTION Yitzhak Rabin was a veteran of the Defense Forces in his country of Israel and years later he became the prime minster of Israel. In 1995, Rabin was assassinated. Due to Rabin status and career in the military, why was Rabin assassinated?

The Arabs and Israelis have been in conflict for over one hundred years. This has affected both the people inside and outside the boundaries of Palestine and Israel. The First Intifada in 1988 saw direct civilian and military combat between Palestine and Israel. The Intifada gained strength by being on the front pages of almost all international media outlets. Solutions to the Intifada confounded world leaders as Arabs, Israelis, Americans and other nations all had opinions and solutions regarding

This was caused by of Arafat’s weakened political position that allowed Rabin to get a strong political deal that allowed Israel to benefit from the Oslo
known as the two stage solution was presented, in attempt to bring peace to the people of Palestine as well as the people of Israel. The United States brought the Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman, Yasser Arafat, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and United States President Bill Clinton together to discuss the solution .

These tensions came to a head when in 1995, Yigal Amir, an Israeli college student, shot and killed Rabin. Though this event was nominally an individual action, the assassination reflected the greater Israeli sentiment. Symbolically, by killing the biggest proponent of the agreement, Israel rejected the Oslo Accords. To add insult to injury, the Israeli

In his masterful work, The Clash of Civilizations, Samuel L. Huntington outlines a theory which approaches international politics on the scale of civilizations.

With this accomplishment, the Palestinian people are one step closer to having their own state.

It is the center of the Arab-Israeli conflict, with members of each group struggling to coexist with the other. 65 years have passed since the declaration of the State of Israel, yet the Arabs and Israelis have not come to terms on any sort of permanent peace agreement.
