Dalia Rabin, Chair of the Yitzhak Rabin Center, stated: "14 years ago, in this very square, the flag flown read: "Yes to Peace, No to Violence." Years have passed and the Israeli society still struggles with a violence that we did not face in the past. Especially this week, in light of recent events, it is important to return to this square to remind everyone of the values of which he (Rabin) spoke at the rally and for which he fought."
