While the operation once strained relations under dictator Idi Amin, modern Uganda and Israel maintain friendly ties, with Uganda continuing to advocate for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Kampala (Uganda): Uganda's armed forces have unveiled a memorial honouring the older brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who died during a hostage rescue mission in the East African nation in 1976. Attendees at the ceremony included Israeli figures such as Barak Orland, a businessman based in Uganda. Dozens of Ugandan military personnel were also killed during the engagement, which lasted under an hour. Contemporary relations between Uganda and Israel remain friendly.
