A Mandate for Murder: A Senior GSS Officer Sheds Light on the Political Assassination That Shook the Middle East

by Hezi Kalo

The story of one of the most shocking political assassinations of the modern age, told for the first time through the intelligence reports that predated - and predicted - the violence to come. On November 4th, 1995, decades of fierce political conflict culminated in the violent assassination of Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin. As the shock subsided and a nation mourned, hard questions began to surface - questions like how could this happen? Why? And perhaps most importantly - could it have been prevented? For the first time, a troubling story of institutional incitement and deliberate escalation is revealed by a senior Israeli GSS officer who feared the worst - and was powerless to stop it. Through detailed intelligence reports, pointed warnings and misleading information, former head of the GSS non-Arab subversion and espionage division Hezi Kalo unravels the years of anger and hatred that bred a remorseless killer, and the false sense of security that paved the way to tragedy.
