Not long after Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated, Shmuel Meir died when a
Palestinian truck driver, driving a UN vehicle, crushed him in his car. The
Israeli police barely questioned the driver, conducted on a perfunctory
investigation and quickly released the driver. As a result, Meir's demise
was viewed as still another peace process murder by many among the Oslo
Accords opposition camp.
Just a few days before Robin Cook's unfortunate arrival, the weekly
newsmagazine Yerushalayim reignited the suspicions. Speaking to reporter Avi
Segal, Deputy Mayor Nissim Zeev said, "Meir was murdered and I'm not just
talking out of the side of my mouth. Meir himself told me he was a marked
man and I know he was targeted by the Palestinian secret services. There are
a lot of ways to murder someone but the easiest is a fake car accident."
