Born in Jerusalem while it was still under the British Mandate, Yitzhak Rabin served
as Prime Minster of Israel twice - once succeeding Golda Meir 1974-1977 and then again
1992-1995. Although he won the Nobel Peace Prize with Yasser Arafat and Shimon Peres
for their efforts to achieve peace between Israelis and Palestinians, Rabin encouraged
the expansion of Jewish settlements which the Palestinians have so vigorously opposed
and he himself did not seek the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
