HALED:

Next.

JABER:

Mayet, Sala.

Mayet, Abraham.

Elbaz, Maurice.

(SPEAKING HEBREW)

JABER:

Ullman, Rebecca.

(HALED SPEAKING ARABIC)

Israeli?

Why do you have French passport

and Israeli I.D. card?

Well, I-I'm a French citizen.

I was working in Israel,

and, uh, I've got

that I.D. card,

which I handed in

with my passport.

You are soldier.

No, I'm French. I, uh...

You are spy. (SPEAKS ARABIC)

Wait.

No, I-I'm a French citizen.

- (HALED SPEAKING ARABIC)

- All right.

- Move. Move!

- Okay.

He's French.

He is your friend?

- Yes.

- Then you go through there, too.

For this plan to succeed,

we need to use

a big enough force

to seize control

of the airport.

First, we use the commandos,

kill the terrorists,

secure the hostages.

Then we fly in reinforcements.

Heavy weaponry,

at least 1,000 men.

You want to invade Uganda,

Shimon?

Oh, we give it back to them

when we leave.

We cannot invade a country

that is a member

of the UN

and the African League.

And it's impossible to move

a force of that size

4,000 kilometers undetected.

SHIMON:

We have to act.

There can be no negotiations

with terrorists.

I'm talking to

the chief of staff, Shimon.

The soldier,

not the politician.

I have to agree

with the prime minister.

RABIN:
We need to find out

if Amin is helping them.

You were in Uganda, right?

You dealt with him?

I trained his army, yes.

I'd like to assume he's not

gonna declare war on France.

Having said that,

the man is absolutely crazy.

He might have a dream,

some kind of a vision,

and anything can happen.

I can try... call him.

If Amin is on

the terrorists' side,

we may have to negotiate.

SHIMON:
Prime Minister, they

are asking for 52 terrorists.

Israel cannot capitulate.

It cannot.

They're going to start

killing the hostages

the day after tomorrow.

Call Amin.

I want to know

where he stands.

They have moved

the Jews together

at the old terminal at Entebbe.

They have surrounded them

with high explosives.

They have TNT on the plane

and all around the building,

even on their bodies.

They said that they will commit

suicide with the hostages.

Tell your government

there is nothing I can do.

MOTTA:
But, Your Excellency,

this is your country.

You have an opportunity

to go down in history

as a great man.

The man who saved these people.

This is a-a great

opportunity, sir,

given to you by God.

AMIN:
All the terrorists want

is for you

to send your prisoners here.

Don't listen to those from

the PFLP sitting beside you.

You are offending me,

old friend.

All I'm trying to do

is make sure

the hostages are safe.

MOTTA:

I'm sorry, Your Excellency,
