African Leaders Vow Unity With Israel Against International Terrorism
By Jonathan Benedek July 6, 2016
“Happy is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.” Psalms 1:1
Speaking from the place where the Israeli army rescued 83 Jewish hostages 40 years ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni vowed to continue fighting terrorism, just as the Israeli army did during Operation Entebbe.
“Forty years ago, they landed in the dead of night, in a country led by a brutal dictator who gave refuge to terrorists,” said Netanyahu, referring to some of the same soldiers who were present at the ceremony. “Today, we landed in broad daylight in a friendly country led by a president who fights terrorists.”
Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni, whose country continues to face threats from regional terrorist groups such as Boko Haram, expressed his commitment to stand with Israel in the continued fight against terrorism.
“On the side of terrorism, we are together,” stressed Museveni. “We stand against terrorism on principle.”
In that vein, Netanyahu asserted that Operation Entebbe was not only a victory for the Jewish world and the State of Israel, but also for the global community.
“Entebbe was more than an Israeli victory,” Netanyahu said. “It was a victory for all of humanity in the fight against those who threaten our common civilization.
“When terrorism succeeds in one place, it spreads to other places, and when terrorism is defeated anywhere, it is weakened everywhere,” he added. “We must recognize that the battle against [terrorism] is indivisible.”
