Clinton gives Israel peace mission at Rabin rally
- 9 years ago
Former US president Bill Clinton spoke at a memorial rally for Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on Saturday night, who was assassinated by Yigal Amir in 1995.
"Yitzhak Rabin defended this country, but more importantly, he advanced the values that are fundamental to Israel," Clinton stated.
Clinton then urged the crowd not to give up on pursuing peace, which he named as Rabin's ultimate legacy.
"The next step in the magnificent journey of Israel, a titan of technology, a volcano of energy, a beacon of democracy in a region with too little, the next step is deciding that Rabin was right, that you must share the future with Palestinian children, and to give peace a chance."
