Conspiracy theories arose almost immediately following the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on November 4, 1995. The perpetrator, Jewish Israeli law student Yigal Amir, was apprehended within seconds by people in the crowd. Rabin later died on the operating table at Ichilov Hospital. Amir confessed to the assassination of Rabin.

The assassination was reported as a clear-cut matter in Israeli media, and the Shamgar national inquiry commission and the court all drew the same conclusion that Amir was guilty of murder. Nevertheless, some inconsistencies in the evidence have been alleged, both in the medical records and in the inquiry testimony. These allegations and other suspicions have been included in occasional left-wing, and more prevalent right-wing conspiracy theories.
