Hecklers jeered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he laid a wreath at the grave of Yitzhak Rabin. During Sunday’s ceremony marking the third anniversary of Rabin’s assassination, the hecklers shouted that Netanyahu incited the murder. Rabin’s widow, Leah, did not shake hands with Netanyahu during the ceremony at Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl Cemetery. The evening before, some 200,000 people took part in a memorial rally in Tel Aviv.
