Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah.

Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was speaking on Thursday after Israeli and Hamas delegations left the ceasefire negotiations in Cairo.

It was unclear whether the talks had broken down or simply paused, but the failure to reach an agreement on this week’s round of meetings raised apprehension of an imminent Israeli attack on Rafah.

Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will stand alone and “fight with our fingernails” in defiance of US threats to further restrict arms deliveries if Israeli forces proceeded with an offensive on the southern Gazan city of Rafah.

Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.

“Director Burns is departing the region as previously scheduled, but interlocutors from other delegations are still in discussions in Cairo, so those talks are still going on,” John Kirby, the national security spokesperson, told reporters.

A major offensive on the city of Rafah would threaten the lives of more than a million Gazans who have sought haven there and who have not received from Israel any serious provisions in terms of shelter, food, water and medical support.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, another far-right minister, posted “Biden - heart emoji - Hamas” on social media, but later said Israel should “respect our friends but also fight our enemies without considering other factors and without compromises”.

Dr Yonatan Freeman, an international relations expert at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said Biden’s announcement, far from pressuring Netanyahu, could strengthen the Israeli prime minister.

Fuck absolutely everything about you, Netanyahu.
