In recent years, a number of rabbis have allegedly suggested that various public figures could qualify as "rodfim", arguably encouraging one to kill. Perhaps most notoriously, former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was branded a "rodef" by some for the Oslo Accord, an agreement for which he was assassinated in 1995. The assassin, Yigal Amir, subsequently justified his actions partly on the basis of "din rodef", under the assumption that making concessions to the Palestinian Authority would endanger Jewish lives.
