Land of Israel activists Baruch Marzel and Itamar Ben-Gvir have asked the Bank of Israel to reconsider its decision to put the portrait of assassinated prime minister Yitzchak Rabin on bank notes.
In a letter to the banks' Currency and Coin Committee, the two wrote, "We were astonished to hear of your decision to print Yitzchak Rabin's portrait on bank notes. Let it be clearly understood that Rabin's image was controversial and an entire public of Judean and Samarian residents and right-wing activists feel that Rabin caused inestimable and indescribable damage to the state of Israel."
