	Rehavam Zeevi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rehavam Zeevi was born in 1926 in Jerusalem.
		In 1981, Zeevi was appointed the director of the Israel Museum in Tel-Aviv.
		Zeevi was greatly disappointed by the Madrid Conference of 1991, and consequently withdrew from the Likud government of Yitzhak Shamir.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| Obituary: Rehavam Zeevi
		The Israeli minister for tourism Rehavam Zeevi, who has been assassinated aged 75, was so rightwing that he barely remained within the outer perimeter of political acceptability.
		Paradoxically, Zeevi was due to resign as minister in the Sharon government, in protest at a partial Israeli army withdrawal in Hebron, on the very day he was ambushed - apparently by gunmen from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in retaliation for Israel's assassination of their own leader, Abu Ali Mustafa.
		Born in Jerusalem in 1926, and raised on a collective farm, it was a scrawny teenage Zeevi that entered the Labour Zionists' elite Palmach unit.

	BBC News \| MIDDLE EAST \| Obituary: Rehavam Zeevi
		Rehavam Ze'evi was a highly controversial politician, even by the standards of Israel where the politics is controversial by its very nature.
		Rehavam Zeevi gained notoriety for comparing Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to Adolf Hitler and for his policy of "transferring", or expelling, Palestinians from areas Israel seized in the 1967 war.
		During his time in the army, Rehavam Zeevi gained the nickname "Gandhi", because he was very thin and used to shave his head.

	The Journal of History
		The assassination of Rehavam Zeevi is the first Palestinian killing of an Israeli political figure in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
		Zeevi, leader of an ultra-right party, was a secular Zionist fanatic; but to the ultra-religious settlers, whether he liked it or not, he was the bearer of a religious message: that it was their duty to settle on the "land of Israel."
		Zeevi, indeed, was renowned for his encyclopaedic knowledge of the historical "land of Israel," which had inspired the head of the Tel Aviv municipal council to appoint him director of the Museum of Eretz Israel before he became a Knesset member.

		JERUSALEM (AP) — Rehavam Zeevi, the Israeli Cabinet minister killed Wednesday in an attack claimed by Palestinian militants, was respected for his war record but marginalized in his political career for advocating the ouster of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
		Born in Jerusalem, Zeevi served in the Palmach, the elite force of the pre-state Jewish underground in British Mandatory Palestine.
		Zeevi was widely known by the incongruous nickname "Gandhi," acquired because his youthful thinness reminded people of the pacifist Indian independence leader Mohandas K. Gandhi.

		Zeevi, the former tourism minister and head of a small party to the right of Sharon's own Likud, had resigned from the cabinet only two days earlier to protest Israel's withdrawal of troops from a Palestinian-controlled section of Hebron.
		Rehavam Zeevi's assassination is almost certain to set back the process of resuming dialogue.
		Zeevi had been one of the more extreme politicians on the Israeli right, openly favoring the mass expulsion of the Palestinian population of the West Bank and Gaza and opposing any renewed dialogue.

	Guardian Unlimited \| The Guardian \| Zeevi profile
		An ardent supporter of Israel's strategy of assassination, the far-right leader Rehavam Zeevi yesterday became the first Israeli politician felled by a Palestinian assassin since the Jewish state was created in 1948.
		For Israelis and Palestinians alike, Zeevi - universally known as Gandhi - was the icon of the extreme right, the loudest advocate for the ethnic cleansing of 3m Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, a policy known as "transfer".
		On the wider stage, Zeevi was also worried about the Bush administration's new peace initiative, and was pressing Mr Sharon to sack the foreign minister, Shimon Peres, to head off any prospect of resuming negotiations with the Palestinians.

		JERUSALEM, Oct. 17--(AP) An Israeli Cabinet minister who advocated the removal of Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza was assassinated Wednesday in a hotel hallway in a killing claimed by a radical Palestinian faction.
		The death of ultranationalist Rehavam Zeevi, 75, the first Cabinet minister to be killed by Palestinians, provoked outrage in Israel and raised the specter of a new outburst of violence at a time when Israel and the Palestinians were trying to patch up a shaky U.S.-supported Sept. 26 truce deal.
		Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority denounced the assassination of Zeevi, but Israel said that wasn't sufficient; it demanded the arrest and extradition of those responsible.

		It could therefore prove ironic that, on the day he died, Zeevi was due to leave the government in protest at a loosening of Israel's grip on the Palestinian territories, while his death might herald a stiffening of the government's resolve to take harsh measures against the Palestinians.
