Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed slain prime minister Yitzhak Rabin's son Yuval in his Knesset remarks during a special session for the later prime minister.
After Rabin lambasted Netanyahu and the ever-widening disagreements within Israeli society, Netanyahu retorted, "I accept your challenge and call for national reconciliation and brotherhood."
"In light of (Rabin's) moving appeal, I reiterate my message of calling for uniting around our shared security and political principles, shared by most Israelis nowadays. I also understand your pain in light of the defamation and slanderous comments levied against your father," Netanyahu said.
