Labor intends to hold the Itzhak Rabin memorial rally at Zion Square in Jerusalem on October 29, three days before the elections, the party announced on Wednesday.
This is the first time a Rabin memorial rally is set to take place at Zion Square where an infamous anti-Rabin protest took place just weeks before his murder.
Labor announced on Wednesday that the party will lead the organization of the rally which did not take place last year.
The slogan chosen for this year's rally is "We fight for his way". The rally is set to take place on Saturday, October 29, just three days before the elections.

Former Darkenu CEO Yaya Fink who will lead the organization of the rally compared the violence against anti-Benjamin Netanyahu protestors to the incitement before the Rabin murder, saying that "at a time when activists are using extreme violence against pro-democracy demonstrators on the bridges our duty is to stand up against the incitement for the sake of democracy."
