PM hopeful Gantz to head Rabin memorial rally

Blue and White leader set to head rally marking 24th anniversary of PM's assassination; rally organizers call public for financial aid as no organization or charity provide funds

Blue and White leader MK Benny Gantz is set to serve as key speaker at the annual memory service for the late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin that will take place Saturday evening at Rabin Square outside Tel Aviv city hall.

 

 

Parishioners will commemorate the 24th anniversary of Rabin's assassination by radical right-wing activist Yigal Amir under the mantra of "yes to peace, no to violence", which was hoisted over the square that faithful night of November 4th, 1995.
