 | In Production Henry Kissinger Remembers Yitzhak Rabin:
An Intimate Portrait
(26 minutes) Dr. Henry Kissinger is considered to be the most important and influential figure in American foreign affairs during the last quarter of the 20th century. What few realize is that Kissinger and Rabin shared a deep mutual admiration and a very close friendship that lasted for decades. In this exclusive interview, Kissinger recounts how he first met Yitzhak Rabin, Rabin's qualities as a deep strategic thinker and close friend of the U.S. and the rocky road they traveled to the "Separation of Forces Agreement" between Israel and Egypt (1975) that set the stage for the peace agreement made by Menachem Begin's government a few years later. In this interview, Kissinger speaks about his - Kissinger's - Jewish identity, the Holocaust's role in shaping his worldview about Israel, his deep friendship with Rabin and gives his evaluation of Rabin as a "world-class leader". The interview is accompanied by rare photos from the Rabin family collection as well from Kissinger's personal collection. |
