Yitzhak Rabin was an Israeli politician and military leader who served as Prime Minister of Israel and Defense Minister. He was a rival of Shimon Peres within the Labor Party.1

As army chief of operations, Yitzhak Rabin was among the old-fashioned military men, including Yigal Allon and Ariel Sharon, who believed that Israel's essential advantage over the Arabs was the quality and training of its military personnel. To these men, nuclear weapons were nothing more than a great equalizer, and they argued that an Egypt equipped with the bomb would be far more dangerous to Israel than an Egypt limited to conventional arms.2

As Defense Minister, Rabin did not try to impede the Joint Committee's arms operations, as he had no interest in helping Peres. However, he unceremoniously and disrespectfully threw Oliver North out of his office when the Contras were mentioned, thwarting North's attempts to set up his second channel.1

Rabin replaced Shimon Peres as leader of the Labor Party and became Prime Minister of Israel in 1992 after the national elections, replacing Yitzhak Shamir.1
