Israel to Issue Stamp Honoring Rabin
- Share via
JERUSALEM — Israel will issue a postage stamp honoring slain Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin a month after his assassination, the Postal Authority said Sunday.
The stamp, bearing the official photograph of Rabin, will be worth five shekels, or about $1.60.
Communications Minister Shulamit Aloni decided not to wait the customary full year from the time of death and instead to issue the stamp 30 days after the assassination, the postal service said in a statement.
Rabin was shot Nov. 4 by a Jewish extremist opposed to the government’s peace efforts with the Palestinians.
