* Carmiel mayor said in the official local ceremony: Those behind the assassination rule us now.
* The Rabin family asked PM Netanyahu, who is largely seen as a key
figure behind the incitement for the assassination, not to conduct a
memorial in the PM's office, and he obliged.
* President Rivlin
stated he wouldn't pardon the assassin. In response, he received an
avalanche of threats, including one from the assassin's brother.
*
Principle of an orthodox school (the assassin was an orthodox-national
political background) decided to hold discussion of domestic violence
instead of the standard educational program marking the anniversary.
* IDF cadet was demoted for justifying the assassination.
* Over the past year, the senior Israel Police commander, Ephraim
Bracha, who was in charge of the assassination investigation committed
suicide after numerous press reports of his corruption.
* Former
Tel-Aviv District Attorney, who was in charge of the assassination
investigation on behalf of the Attorney General is on trial for
corruption.
* Poll shows that majority of the orthodox-national
public doesn't believe that he assassin killed PM Rabin (the most common
open question pertains to collusion of the Shin-Bet in the
assassination).
* Previous polls showed that large part of the adult
population does not trust the official assassination investigation
results.
