Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked(Jewish Home) referred in a Reshet Bet interview to the new requests for a retrial for Yigal Amir, the assassinator of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.
"Yigal Amir murdered prime minister Rabin, he himself admitted this," said Shaked. "The one who decides to approve or prevent a retrial is the Chief Justice. I haven't spoken with her but I am convinced that neither she nor any other factor will approve this. Yigal Amir will sit in jail until his last day," Shaked said.
