Official ceremony held to mark 21 years since Rabin killing
Israeli leaders and members of the family of slain prime minister Yitzhak Rabin are gathered on Mount Herzl for the official state commemoration of his assassination.
The official ceremony is held on the Hebrew anniversary of the 1995 killing. Two weeks ago, a private family ceremony at Mount Herzl and a mass gathering at the plaza where he was shot were held.
The event, attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanayhu and President Reuven Rivlin is being marked with songs, music and speeches.
Rivlin says we need to learn the necessity of unity among the people from the incident. “How will we teach to love each other,” he says.
