Yigal Amir (Hebrew: יגאל עמיר; born May 31, 1970)[1] is an Israeli right-wing extremist who assassinated incumbent Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin on November 4, 1995, at the conclusion of a rally in Tel Aviv, Israel. At the time of the murder, he was a law student at Bar-Ilan University. Amir is serving a life sentence for murder plus six years for injuring Rabin's bodyguard, Yoram Rubin, under aggravating circumstances.[2] He was later sentenced to an additional eight years for conspiracy to murder. Amir has never expressed regret over the assassination.
Numerous radical right-wing Israeli organisations have carried out campaigns for Amir's release. The Shin Bet security service has assessed that Amir remains a threat to national security.[3] The Knesset passed a law preventing the President of Israel from pardoning the assassin of a prime minister.
