Yitzhak Rabin (born March 1, 1922, Jerusalem—died November 4, 1995, Tel Aviv–Yafo, Israel) Israeli statesman and soldier who, as prime minister of Israel (1974–77 and 1992–95), led his country toward peace with its Palestinian and Arab neighbours. He was chief of staff of Israel’s armed forces during the Six-Day War (June 1967). Along with Shimon P...
Rabin graduated from Kadoorie agricultural school in Kefar Tavor and in 1941 joined the Palmach, the commando unit of the Haganah. He participated in actions against the Vichy French in Syria and Lebanon. During the first of the Arab-Israeli wars (1948–49), he directed the operations in and around Jerusalem and also fought the Egyptians in the Nege...
In 1968, on retirement from the army, Rabin became his country’s ambassador to the United States, where he forged a close relationship with U.S. leaders and procured advanced American weapons systems for Israel. He drew fire from Israeli hard-liners because he advocated withdrawal from Arab territories occupied in the 1967 war as part of a general Middle East peace settlement.
Returning to Israel in March 1973, Rabin became active in Israeli politics. He was elected to the Knesset (parliament) as a member of the Labour Party in December and joined Prime Minister Golda Meir’s cabinet as minister of labour in March 1974. After Meir resigned in April 1974, Rabin assumed leadership of the party and became Israel’s fifth (and first native-born) prime minister in June. As Israel’s leader he indicated his willingness to negotiate with adversaries as well as to take firm action when deemed necessary—securing a cease-fire with Syria in the Golan Heights but also ordering a bold raid at Entebbe, Uganda, in July 1976, in which Israeli and other hostages were rescued after their plane was hijacked by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Red Army Faction (a West German radical leftist group). Perhaps his most enduring achievement during his first term as prime minister was the 1975 Interim Agreement with Egypt, which laid the groundwork for a permanent peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, which was achieved in 1979.
Rabin served as defense minister in the Labour-Likud coalition governments from 1984 to 1990, responding forcefully to an uprising by Palestinians in the occupied territories, the first intifadah. The failure of hard-line policies to quell the uprising, however, convinced Rabin that it was necessary to engage politically with the Palestinians. His hawkish stance during his military and political careers, meanwhile, secured public trust in his ability to make concessions without compromising security. In February 1992, in a nationwide vote by Labour Party members, he regained leadership of the party from Peres and led the party to victory in the general elections of June 1992. He formed a government with a mandate to pursue peace, one of the key election issues that pivoted the vote in favour of Labour.

As prime minister, Rabin put a freeze on new Israeli settlements in the occupied territories. His government undertook secret negotiations with the PLO that culminated in the Israel-PLO accords (September 1993), in which Israel recognized the PLO and agreed to gradually implement limited self-rule for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In October 1994 Rabin and King Ḥussein of Jordan, after a series of secret meetings, signed a full peace treaty between their two countries.
