Wife of Rabin assassin disqualified from Knesset run, for now
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe central Elections Committee has disqualified Larissa Trimbobler-Amir from running for the Knesset in March 2 elections.
Trimbobler-Amir is married to Yigal Amir, the man who assassinated prime minister Yitzhak Rabin at a peace rally 24 years ago.
The 13 member committee decided unanimously to disqualify her. The disqualification will likely be challenged in the Supreme Court, which often overturns the committee’s decisions.
If she does run, her party is not expected to garner a significant number of votes or enter the Knesset.
