==Commemorations== In August 2012, Uganda and Israel commemorated the raid at a somber ceremony at the base of the tower at the old terminal, where Yonatan Netanyahu was killed. Uganda and Israel renewed their commitment to "fight terrorism and to work towards humanity".<ref name="Uganda Israel 2012">{{cite news|url=http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/634093-Uganda--Israel-honor-1976-Entebbe-raid.html |title=Uganda, Israel honor 1976 Entebbe raid |newspaper=New Vision |date=14 August 2012 |access-date=14 August 2012 |author=Candia, Steven |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120815235504/http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/634093-Uganda--Israel-honor-1976-Entebbe-raid.html |archive-date=15 August 2012}}</ref> In addition, wreaths were laid, a moment of silence was held, speeches were given, and a poem was recited. The flags of Uganda and Israel were flown side by side, symbolising the two countries' strong bilateral relations, next to a plaque bearing a history of the raid. The ceremony was attended by Ugandan State Minister for Animal Industry [[Bright Rwamirama]] and the deputy [[Foreign Affairs Minister of Israel]] [[Daniel Ayalon]], who laid wreaths at the site.<ref name="Uganda Israel 2012"/> Forty years to the day after the rescue operation, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, brother of slain Israeli commando Yonatan Netanyahu, visited Entebbe with an Israeli delegation, and laid the groundwork for further Israeli–sub-Saharan African bilateral relations.<ref>{{cite news |author=Macintyre |first=Donald |date=4 July 2016 |title=Binyamin Netanyahu visits scene of brother's 1976 Entebbe airport death |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/04/binyamin-netanyahu-israel-entebbe-airport-uganda |work=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref>
