In an interview marking 50 years since the Entebbe raid, Reserve Major General Uzi Dayan said the world has changed and a liberal approach weakens the will to decisively fight terrorism. Dayan added that Israel alone still struggles for its existence with justice and morality.
Fifty years after the IDF's Operation Entebbe, Reserve Major General Uzi Dayan offered a somber assessment of the current global climate. In an interview published by Israeli commentator Idotauber (C14), Dayan argued that the liberal world order today makes it harder to carry out decisive counterterrorism operations like the 1976 raid that rescued hostages in Uganda. 'The world has changed,' Dayan said. 'The liberal approach hurts the ability to defeat terrorism. Only we still fight for our existence out of justice and morality.' The interview comes as Israel continues to face threats from Iran and its proxies. The Zioneer has previously reported on Idotauber's commentary urging Israel not to be bound by any Trump-era Iran deal, reflecting a broader security-first stance among some Israeli commentators.
