Israel: Thousands commemorate assassinated PM Yitzhak Rabin

Thousands of people gathered on Saturday night at Rabin square in central Tel Aviv to commemorate the assassination of former Israeli prime minster Yitzhak Rabin, who was killed 20 years ago. Politicians and activists, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, delivered speeches that highlighted Rabin's career and his work towards peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Most speakers talked about the need for tolerance and peace, topical subjects as violence escalates across Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Since the start of October, at least 70 Palestinians have been killed in shootings and clashes with Israeli forces, while at least nine Israelis have died as a result of attacks.
