May 31, 1970 - Yigal Amir

Yigal Amir (born May 31, 1970) is an Israeli murderer who assassinated the incumbent prime minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin, on November 4, 1995, at the conclusion of a rally in Tel Aviv, Israel. At the time of the murder, he was a law student at Bar-Ilan University.

Numerous radical right-wing Israeli organisations have carried out campaigns for Amir's release. The Shin Bet security service has assessed that Amir remains a threat to national security. The Knesset passed a law preventing the president of Israel from pardoning the assassin of a prime minister.
