Netanyahu Asserts Israel's Readiness To Stand Alone In Gaza

Benjamin Netanyaho

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated Israel's commitment to its military campaign in Gaza, stating that the country is prepared to stand alone if necessary. This statement comes amidst tensions with the United States over Israel's actions in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

In a message to the Israeli people on the eve of the country's Independence Day, Netanyahu emphasized Israel's strength, determination, and unity in the face of its enemies. He declared, 'If we have to stand alone, we will stand alone. I already said that if we have to -- we will fight tooth and nail.'

US halts weapon deliveries to Israel over actions in Rafah.

Netanyahu's remarks appeared to be a response to US President Joe Biden's announcement that the United States would halt deliveries of some weapons to Israel if its military campaign in Rafah continues.

Highlighting Israel's historical resilience, Netanyahu drew parallels to the country's War of Independence 76 years ago, where Israel faced overwhelming odds but emerged victorious through spirit, bravery, and unity.

The Israeli Prime Minister's defiant stance underscores Israel's determination to protect its citizens and defend its interests in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. As the situation continues to evolve, Israel remains steadfast in its resolve to confront its adversaries and safeguard its sovereignty.
