Legacy and Commemoration
In July 2005, the Knesset passed a law to commemorate Ze'evi's memory. Route 90 was renamed Gandhi Road in his honor. Eilat's promenade was named for him and there is a life-size statue of him there as well. The communal settlement of Merhav Am and the West Bank settlement Ma'ale Rehav'am also bear his name.
In 2005, he was voted the 7th-greatest Israeli of all time, in a poll by the Israeli news website Ynet to determine whom the general public considered the 200 Greatest Israelis.
