Yitzhak Rabin was an Israeli military leader, diplomat, statesman, and politician who served as the fifth Prime Minister of Israel in two non-consecutive terms (1974–1977 and 1992–1995). Born in Jerusalem during the British Mandate era, Rabin grew up in a Labor Zionist family and pursued a military career, rising to become Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces during the Six-Day War in 1967. After his military service, he served as Israel's ambassador to the United States before entering politics with the Labor Party. His second term as Prime Minister, from 1992 until his assassination on November 4, 1995, was marked by a pivotal pursuit of peace with the Palestinians, including initiating and signing the Oslo Accords and advancing the peace process, which also contributed to the Israel-Jordan peace treaty. For these efforts, he was awarded the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize, shared with Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat. Rabin's life was tragically cut short when he was assassinated by a right-wing Israeli extremist who opposed the peace process.
