After the Prime Minister, Yair Lapid, chose not to respond to the invitation of the Chairman of the Labor Party, Merav Michaeli, to come to the rally organized by the party in memory of the late Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, 27 years since the murder - now members of his family have also decided to be absent from it. His home, Dalia Rabin , announced today (Monday) in a conversation with "Israel Hayom" that she will not participate in the rally because, according to her, it is a rally that is all about the Labor Party.
The chairman of the state camp and defense minister Benny Gantz and the chairman of Meretz, Zehava Galon, were also invited to the rally - but they have not yet returned an answer.
We will remind you that a year ago an annual rally was not held, for the first time since the Prime Minister was assassinated.

The rally is scheduled to take place on October 29th at Zion Square in Jerusalem, three days before the elections on November 1st, under the title "Fighting and Fighting for His Way". This is about ten days earlier than the official memorial date set by law - 12 in Hashvan.
It should be noted that the rally cannot take place this year in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv due to the work on the light rail.
Due to this and due to the fact that this is the location where the controversial demonstration was held on October 5, 1995 in which Benjamin Netanyahu stood on the balcony and posters of Rabin in SS uniform were displayed in the street, it is claimed that this was a political rally designed to promote the agenda of the Labor Party.

With the announcement of the rally and the new date, Michaeli said: "A rally in memory of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin is the event where we all remember and remember the terrible murder that followed incitement and violence against Rabin and against the courageous policy he led. The Labor Party, Yitzhak Rabin's party, will continue to lead the The flags he carried, to follow his path in defense of democracy and the state of Israel and will fight with all his might against incitement and racism."
