Prime Minister of Israel Yitzhak Rabin Signed
"EL AL FLIGHT TEL AVIV - CAIRO
First Flight Cover 1977
YITZHAK RABIN (1922-1995). Prime Minister of Israel, 1974-1977, 1992-1995, Awarded 1994 Nobel Peace Prize with Israel's Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat.
December 14, 1977-Dated, Historic First Flight Cover Signed, "Y. Rabin", 6.75" x 4", Choice Extremely Fine. First Flight Cover, "First Israeli El-Al Flight Lod (Ben-Gurion Airport) - Cairo Airport". Israeli postage stamp, postmarked at Ben-Gurion Airport "EL AL FLIGHT TEL AVIV - CAIRO", December 13, 1977, and postmarked in Cairo on December 14, 1977, (Cairo postmark also on verso). A historic and colorful Yitzhak Rabin Signed First Flight Cover.
Yitzhak Rabin was Born Jerusalem. Later in life he joined the Palmach, the commando unit of the Haganah (Jewish Defense Forces), in 1941 and fought in the 1948 War of Independence. He became Army Chief of Staff in 1964 and General Rabin conceived the strategies of swift mobilization of reserves and destruction of enemy aircraft on the ground that helped Israel win the Six-Day War (1967).
On retirement from the Army, he became Israel's Ambassador to the United States (1968-1973). Rabin was elected to the Knesset (parliament) as a member of the Labour Party in December 1973 and joined Prime Minister Golda Meir's cabinet as Minister of Labour in March 1974. After Meir resigned in April, he became party leader and, in June, Israel's first native-born Prime Minister.
During the 1977 electoral campaign, Rabin stepped down as Prime Minister and Labour leader owing to a controversy over technical irregularities in his finances. He was Defense Minister in the Labour-Likud coalition governments of 1984-1990, taking a hardline position during the Palestinian Intifada. In February 1992, Rabin regained the leadership of the Labour Party in a membership vote. After Labour's victory in the June general elections, Rabiin again became Prime Minister.
Negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) culminated in September 1993 in a historic accord in which Israel recognized the PLO and agreed to limited Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, PLO leader Yasir Arafat, and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East."
While attending a peace rally on November 4, 1995, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist opposed to Israel's concessions to the PLO.
