A stamp commemorating the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin will be issued a month after his death.
Israel’s Postal Authority said the stamp would bear Rabin’s official photograph and would be issued in a 5-shekel denomination.
Communications Minister Shulamit Aloni said in a statement that stamps in memory of prime ministers are usually issued on the one-year anniversary of their death.
But in light of the circumstances surrounding Rabin’s death, she added, it was decided that a stamp in his honor should appear sooner.
