The assassination of Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on November 4 1995 was a defining moment in Israel's history. The Oslo Accords had been signed two years earlier by Mr Rabin and PLO chairman Yasir Arafat, and just a year before that, Mr Rabin had shaken hands with King Hussein of Jordan to mark the historic Israel-Jordan peace treaty.

On the night of November 4, 300,000 people had gathered in Tel Aviv for a peace concert, when Yigal Amir, an extremist Orthodox Jew, shot Mr Rabin as he was leaving the square.
