Rabin, Yitzhak (1922–95) Israeli statesman, prime minister (1974–77, 1992–95). As chief of staff (1964–68), he directed Israeli operations in the Six-Day War (1967). Rabin was ambassador to the USA (1968–73) before becoming prime minister. As minister of defence (1984–90), he directed operations against the Palestinian Intifada and, having regained leadership of the Labour Party from Shimon Peres, became prime minister for the second time. In 1993, Rabin signed the Israeli-Palestinian Accord with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), promising progress towards Palestinian autonomy in the occupied territories. On November 4, 1995, an Israeli extremist assassinated Rabin.
