The PMs who shaped Israel

Yitzhak Rabin served twice in the period 1974-95. The old war horse became an unlikely peacemaker, signing an agreement with Egypt in 1975 that led to the Camp David accords. Rabin took extremely harsh measures against youthful demonstrators during the first Palestinian intifada in the late 1980s, but famously shook hands with his old adversary Yasser Arafat at the Clinton White House in 1993 after a framework for peace with the Arab nations was signed. He was assassinated by a Jewish religious fanatic in 1995.
