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.

    The fact you had to argue a completely different point instead of the one I’m actually making shows that you KNOW your position is morally indefensible.

    We both know that Israel invading palesting and killing thousands of children isn’t “self defence”.

    We both know Israel restricting humanitarian aid from entering palestine, thus causing a man made famine, is not them defending themselves.

    Everyone here knows you are not arguing in good faith. Including yourself, so why are you wasting your time? Are you doing a “le epic troll”? Are you just an edgy contrarian? Or something else? Please, tell me.
