On November 4 , 1995 , a rally was held in Tel Aviv in support of the peace process . As the rally came to an end , from a high platform , Yitzh . ak Rabin joined the crowd in singing “ The Song of Peace” : So sing only a song for peace Do not whisper a prayer Better sing a song for peace With a great shout . When the song ended , Rabin left the platform . As he went toward his car he was shot and killed by Yigal Amir , a Jewish religious fanatic who opposed the peace process . Looking Forward to a Better Future So far , the road to peace has been long and rocky . Slowly , though , progress has been made . Like people all around the world , Israelis want peace . They also want to be safe—free from attacks by terrorists and foreign soldiers . Finding and following the path toward peace and security is the greatest challenge of our time—for Israel and for all nations . At Yitzhak Rabin’s funeral President and Mrs . Clinton ( first row ) were among those who offered . the Rabin family and all Israel their sympathy and hopes for shalom .
