Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli police
have stepped up the investiga-
tion into whether some rabbis is-
sued a religious ruling allowing
for the assassination of Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
Police investigators have ques-
tioned two rabbis suspected of is-
suing religious justification for
the Nov. 4 assassination.
The rabbis were identified as
Shmuel Dvir, from the Gush Et-
zion bloc in the West Bank, and
David Kay, who taught at a
yeshiva attended by confessed
assassin Yigal Arnir.
The two, questioned by police,
were reportedly the first of sev-
eral rabbis to be interrogated.
One suspect arrested in con-
nection with the killing said Mr.
Amir had asked him to get rab-
binical permission for the assas-
sination.
Meanwhile, the Jerusalem
Magistrates Court extended by
three days the detention of a mi-
nor accused of printing posters
that depicted Mr. Rabin in a
Gestapo uniform. The posters
were distributed at an opposition
rally about a month before the
slaying.
The inflammatory posters,
along with public statements
that Mr. Rabin was responsible
for the deaths of Israelis because
of his peace policies, have been
cited as contributing to a public
atmosphere that made the as-
sassination possible.
The 16-year-old suspect, who
was not identified because of his
age, expressed remorse for his
actions during the hearing, ac-
cording to Israel Radio. .
Mr. Amir has repeatedly
maintained that he acted alone.
