The opening as it read in 2010

1996 Commission of Inquiry set up to investigate the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin . It held its first meeting on 19 November 1995. The final report was issued on 28 March 1996. It was critical of Shin Bet , Israel's internal security service, for exposing the Prime Minister to "serious risks," and for failing to act on threats to his life from Jewish extremists. Shin Bet Director, Carmi Gillon , who resigned after the assassination, issued a public statement after the publication of the report which he ended by saying: "I also salute my former colleagues, who have been so gravely - and in my opinion so unjustly - hurt by this official commission of inquiry." During November 1996 the government published some of the confidential sections of the report. These revealed that Shin Bet used a high profile right wing militant as one of their agents. This led to claims that the agent, Avishai Raviv , was an agent provocateur . At one protest, he was filmed with a picture of Rabin in an SS uniform prior to Rabin's murder. He was know to have been on close terms with the assassin, Yigal Amir with whom he had been heard discussing Rabin's rodef (outlaw to be killed) status. The correspondent dismisses conspiracy theories and puts the revelations in the context of political mud-slinging between the Labour Party and Prime Minister Netanyahu.¹
