Formulating A Rescue Mission
Israeli negotiators tried to buy time through Idi Amin, while they formulated a rescue plan. The terrorists agreed to move the deadline date to July 4th from July 1st. All the while, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin met with top generals and his defense minister, Shimon Peres to discuss their options. Rabin wanted to fulfill the demands in order to save lives, whereas Peres wanted to prevent this scenario from happening again.
