Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel can stand alone after the US warned it could halt arms shipments in the event of a full-scale invasion of Rafah in Gaza.
Mr. Netanyahu says, if necessary, the Israelis will fight with their fingernails.
US President Joe Biden has said he will withhold some arms, including artillery shells, if Rafah is invaded.
The US has already paused a shipment of bombs over fears of civilian deaths.
Mr. Netanyahu on Thursday, however, recalled the war of 1948 to dismiss warnings from the US, Israel's closest ally.
He said at that time, Israel had very few weapons due to an arms embargo, but with great strength of spirit, heroism and unity it emerged victorious.
