Eighteen-year-old Yitzhak Rabin Namsy, born in Jordan and named following his namesake’s assassination on November 4, 1995, was granted citizenship after 16 years in Israel, Maariv reported Wednesday.
Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar flew down to Namsy’s Eilat home to deliver his ID card in person earlier this week, the paper reported.
The move followed a lengthy legal battle for citizenship, sought so Namsy could join the Israel Defense Forces. Four months ago, his mother Miriam sought the help of an attorney, Naomi Gonen, in her son’s attempt to deal with the bureaucracy of becoming a citizen.
Basically, this Jordanian family in Jordan decided to name their newborn after Yitzhak Rabin. At first the Jordanians wouldn't agree to let them give their son a Jewish name, but later agreed.
The family were harassed in Jordan and had to flee. They went into exile in Israel.

I'm not sure Hazzy will approve.
