Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the 50th anniversary ceremony for Operation Entebbe that Israel has turned the tables since the October 7 massacre, striking enemies from Gaza to Yemen, Lebanon to Iran, and removing the immediate existential danger posed by Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered extended remarks at the President's Residence on Sunday evening during the ceremony marking 50 years since Operation Entebbe. Netanyahu said Israel has 'turned the tables' since the October 7, 2023 massacre, striking enemies across multiple fronts — from Gaza to Yemen, Lebanon to Iran — and removing what he described as an immediate existential danger from Iran's nuclear weapons program. The remarks followed earlier comments by President Isaac Herzog, who said the Entebbe raid 'entered our DNA as a people, state, and nation' (The Zioneer, 18:30). The Zioneer reported earlier that Netanyahu also said Israel is 'systematically smashing the Iranian axis of evil' (The Zioneer, 18:14). The ceremony comes amid ongoing military operations against Iranian-backed proxies, with the prime minister framing the current war as a continuation of the spirit of Entebbe.
