In 1993, Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (OLP) signed the Oslo agreements on Palestinian autonomy in Washington, selected by a historic handshake between the Palestinian chief, Yasser Arafat, and the Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. A year later, Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres won the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1995, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in Tel Aviv by a Jewish extremist opposed to the peace process.
According to the mayor of Nancy, “The commemoration of the memory of Yitzhak Rabin, murdered in his country by the far right in 1995, must serve us as a moral and political guide in the current situation, where the will of justice, of peace in the face of all hatreds is the only boussole of the real allies of peace”.
