Reply to comment by needypondy in U.S. Secretary of State in Jerusalem: Urgent steps needed for calm, Calls for Two-State Solution by TheFrederalGovt

he was assasinated, and likely the next person who tries it will share the same fate, which is why the process is somewhat locked.

Past Leader of Jordan King Hussein, who normalized ties with israel in 94, drew parallels between Rabin's assassination and his grandfather's assassination in 1951. (The CIA handed King Hussein a detailed report in December 1995 warning him of a Syrian plot to assassinate him and his brother Hassan)

assassination attempts are made by extremists to undermine peace efforts.
