Relations between Israel and Uganda deteriorated after Col. 1925 2003-08-16 Koboko, Uganda

Idi Amin was the self-proclaimed president of Uganda. He was installed in a military coup planned and led by former Israel military attaché Col. Baruch Bar Lev. Relations between Israel and Idi Amin were at their lowest at the time of the 1976 Entebbe hijacking.1

Relations between Israel and Uganda deteriorated after Muammar Qaddafi of Libya promised money to black Africa nations if they cut ties with Israel. Despite this, Idi Amin still wore the paratrooper's wings bestowed on him by the Israel military during his training in Israel.1
