UNITED STATES--The eyes of Israel and much of the world were on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem as Yitzhak Rabin--soldier, political leader, peacemaker and the last representative of a founding generation that literally created the state of Israel with its bare hands--was laid to rest.
Mr. Rabin embodied Israel's modern history. He was successively underground fighter, soldier in the war of independence, architect of victory in the six-day war, Prime Minister and Nobel Peace laureate. He was the nation's first native-born Prime Minister and its first to fall to assassination.
King Hussein of Jordan captured in his presence and words Mr. Rabin's final contribution as a pioneer of regional peace. ... Identifying the assembled dignitaries from some 80 countries as "the camp of peace,"...
. . .
...he Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular, however, cannot afford to lower their guard. Unless there are clear signs that Israel remains committed to the peace process, they must maintain a state of alert, at the same time making sure that nothing should happen that could possibly provoke the Israelis to renege on their leader's commitment to peace.
