Israeli President Shimon Peres shakes hands with youths taking part in a mass rally marking the 14th anniversary of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in Tel Aviv on November 7, 2009. Peres used a speech honouring Rabin to urge Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas to stay in power despite frustrations over the peace process. About 20,000 people massed in Rabin Square where the late prime minister was killed by a Jewish extremist on November 4, 1995, after attending a peace rally.
