Fifty-one years ago today, on June 3, 1974 (April 13, 1974), Yitzhak Rabin became the new Prime Minister of Israel. On March 1, 1922, Rabin was born in Jerusalem to a family of Russian Jewish immigrants who were enthusiastic about the Zionist cause. At the time, Rabin's father worked in a post office in Haifa, and his mother Rosa was an accountant at a local lumber firm. In late 1940, Rabin, who was under the age of 20, joined the Jewish secret armed organization "Parmach Commando" and began his military career. Since then, several legendary events have made him a hero throughout Israel: in 1946, Rabin was imprisoned by the British authorities for rescuing Jewish immigrants who were imprisoned in the Atlitt concentration camp; in 1948, as a brigade commander, Rabin opened the road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in the Ajaron Valley, known as the "Gate of Hell"; in 1956, Rabin used the army to successfully resettle more than 100,000 new Jewish immigrants in the ice and snow. In February 1966, the new Syrian regime strengthened relations with the Soviet Union. Soon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan signed a mutual defense agreement. Since then, the border conflicts between Syria and Israel have continued, and the Arab and Israeli sides are at war. After analyzing the situation, Rabin, who was the chief of the general staff at the time, believed that war was imminent. He immediately set about formulating a strict battle plan, attacking from the east, west and north. During this period, he slept only three or four hours a day on the army bed in the office, and his heavy smoking poisoned him with nicotine, so he had to chew chocolate instead. After careful consideration, Rabin decided to preemptively launch a blitzkrieg against Egypt, Syria and Jordan. On June 5, 1967, Israel chose 7:45 am, when the Egyptian army was at its weakest, to launch a surprise attack on the Egyptian Air Force and Air Force installations, destroying the air defenses in one fell swoop and winning air supremacy. Then on the southern front, the armored troops were dispatched to advance on the Sinai Peninsula in three directions, and it took only four days to reach the eastern bank of the Suez River. At the same time, on the Western Front, four brigades of troops occupied the West Bank and the Old City of Jerusalem, broke through the Syrian army's defense line on the northern front, and occupied the Golan Heights and its capital Quneitra. Egypt, Syria, and Jordan were forced to cease fire. The war launched by Israel ended after six days, known as the "Six Days War", and occupied a total of 67,000 square kilometers of territory in Arab countries, which is equivalent to three times the area of the mainland. Rabin, who commanded the war, was also considered a national "hero" of Israel, became a symbol of the national spirit, and was named the man of the year in 1967 by the public opinion circle. In February 1968, he became ambassador to the United States, and his five years in the United States became one of the best periods of Israeli-American relations. After returning home after his term expired in 1973, Rabin joined the Labor Party. In January 1974, he got his wish and became a Labour MP. Soon after, he joined Meir's cabinet as Minister of Labor. In June, the Prime Minister, Mrs. Meir, resigned. Rabin won the fierce competition for the leadership of the Labor Party, became the new leader of the Labor Party, and was appointed to form a cabinet, becoming the first prime minister in Israel's history to be born and raised in Palestine. However, after Rabin came to power, he failed to escape the shadow of the economic crisis. Corruption and corruption within the government exacerbated the crisis. He himself resigned as leader of the Labor Party and prime minister in April 1977 due to the revelation of his wife Leah's illegal deposits in the United States. In February 1992, Rabin defeated former Labor Party leader Shimon Peres and was re-elected as the leader of the Labor Party. He won the general election in June and replaced Likud leader Shamir as the new Prime Minister of Israel. After taking office, Rabin adopted an active, flexible and pragmatic foreign policy, supported participation in the Middle East International Peace Conference, and expressed his agreement to the idea of "part of the territory for peace". He proposed to solve the Palestinian issue in stages first. Except for strategic areas such as the Jordan Valley, Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, Rabin ordered a halt to the construction of new settlements in the occupied territories, agreed to negotiate with Palestinian representatives in the occupied territories, and achieved Palestinian self-government within 6-9 months for a period of five years. But Rabin opposes the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, opposes the return of Jerusalem, considers the city to be under Israeli sovereignty, says he will not accept the restoration of the borders before the 1967 "6.5" war, and will use an "iron fist" against the Palestinian armed struggle. Rabin also hopes to speed up negotiations with Syria, Lebanon and Jordan after reaching an agreement with the Palestinians.
