ISRAEL PM DENIES INCITEMENT CLAIMS
TEL AVIV: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday rejected accusations that he had been involved in a campaign of incitement that preceded the 1995 assassination of premier Yitzhak Rabin. In a message on Facebook, Netanyahu called Rabin’s killing on Nov 4 that year by Jewish extremist Yigal Amir a “shocking political murder that all of us condemn”. “Since the murder there have been continuous attempts to distort the historical truth and blame me for the incitement that preceded the killing,” he wrote. – AFP
