Rabin resigned from office after two crises hit him: the arrival of four F-15 jets on Shabbat led to the breaking up of his coalition; and the exposure of a US Dollar bank account held by his wife Lea Rabin, an act forbidden at that time by Israeli currency regulators.

In the wake of the Rabin assassination, the Israeli cabinet has vowed to fight right wing extremism but the discredited role of Israeli security is muddying the waters.

 The Christian Science Monitor csmonitor.com
To those who believe in Rabin's vision of peace, the only conspirators are the ultranationalist activists who created a climate of incitement, and right-wing rabbis who purportedly decreed Rabin a din rodef, an ancient Hebrew term for someone who is a danger and should be killed.
Many Israelis decry talk of conspiracy as an insult to Rabin's memory and as an attempt of the right to absolve itself of collective guilt.
But now, the climate of blame seems likely to reach new heights as people who have been propagating conspiracy theories since Rabin's death have more fodder for arguments that the Nobel Peace Prize-winner was the victim of a government plot.
