The head of Uganda’s military suggests that his country will join the Iran war if Israel is at risk of defeat.
“We want the war in the Middle East to end now. The world is tired of it. But any talk of destroying or defeating Israel will bring us into the war. On the side of Israel!” Muhoozi Kainerugaba tweets.
Last month, Kainerugaba announced that Uganda would erect a statue of Yoni Netanyahu, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s brother, who was killed leading an elite IDF force in the 1976 rescue of hostages from Entebbe.
