Outrage at prison wedding plans of Rabin’s assassin
Rabin’s daughter, Dalia Rabin-Pelosoff, was hospitalised with an irregular heartbeat after hearing reports that Yigal Amir was planning to marry Larisa Trimbobler an Ultra-Orthodox, divorced mother of four in the spring, said a family friend.
Amir is serving a life sentence for shooting Rabin at a peace rally in November 1995. Amir, an ultra-nationalist, believed Rabin, who led a centre-left government, had betrayed Israel by concluding peace deals with the Palestinians. The controversy provided a rare occasion for agreement between the ruling right and opposition left. Shimon Peres, head of centre-left Labour and foreign minister under Rabin, said parliament should pass a special law to prohibit the marriage, adding that he feared the wedding would be a first step towards Amir’s eventual release.
