Rabin was born in Al-Quds (Jerusalem) in 1922 C.E. and was the first Israeli prime minister to be born in Palestine, whereas all the prime ministers preceding him were born in Europe.
He was the Israeli Prime Minister for the first time from 1974-1977 C.E.; and for the second time from 1992 C.E. up to November 4, 1995, when he was assassinated in Tel Aviv by a right-wing Israeli radical Yigal Amir, who opposed him.
In 1941 C.E., during World War II, Rabin joined the Palmach, a secret Jewish unit in Palestine. In 1948 C.E., during the first Arab-Israeli war, Rabin was the Palmach’s deputy commander. He headed the Ministry of Defense in Israel from 1964-1967 C.E., and was the architect of the strategy of the 1967 Six-Day war. He took the same office once again from 1984-1990 C.E.
From 1968-1973 C.E., Rabin was the Israeli Ambassador to the United States. He was a member in the Labor Party and was elected to the Israeli Knesset in 1973 C.E.
In 1993 C.E., Rabin’s government, along with the PLO, signed an accord that implied the beginning of a Palestinian self-rule, and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
In 1994 C.E., Rabin won the Nobel Peace Prize together with Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader.
In 1994 C.E., his talks with King Hussein of Jordan led to signing a peace treaty that put an end to the state of war between both countries.
