The man Rabin called "head of the gang" still sits in the chair. Our debt: to remove him before it's too late

Shimon Sheves, former director general of the Prime Minister's Office under Yitzhak Rabin, writes on the 31st anniversary of the assassination that Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Rabin called "head of the gang," still serves as prime minister and is dismantling Israel's strategic assets. Sheves compares Rabin's government, which was based on execution and work plans, to the current government which he says produces spin and abandons the hostages. He calls for restoring Rabin's priorities and removing Netanyahu from the Prime Minister's Office.

31 years after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Sheves, who served as director general of the Prime Minister's Office under Rabin, writes a pointed opinion piece. He claims that Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Rabin called "head of the gang," still sits in the prime minister's chair and is dismantling Israel's strategic assets. Sheves describes Rabin's government as a government of execution, work plans, and national priorities, compared to the current government which he says produces spin, has not finished a war, and left hostages in captivity. He notes that Rabin fought for every dollar in American aid, while Netanyahu voluntarily gave up four billion dollars a year. Sheves calls on the leaders of the change bloc to form a government and restore Rabin's priorities, before it is too late.
