Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he told President Joe Biden that Israel was prepared to stand alone after Biden threatened to abandon the Jewish state if it invaded Rafah, according to Israeli outlet Channel 14.
“Biden called me and said: Prime Minister Netanyahu — you will be left alone,” Netanyahu reportedly said during a secret meeting with government officials.
In response, Netanyahu reportedly told Biden, “We will do it alone.”
Netanyahu added that two days later, Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Israel and reportedly told him that Israel would not get more U.S. weapons if it invaded Rafah.
“We will fight with our hands and nails,” Netanyahu said he responded.
“The Americans estimated that 20,000 people would be killed in Rafah, it turned out to be a total disaster,” he added.
Despite Vice President Kamala Harris and Biden warning against invading Rafah, Israel’s incursion has been a strategic success, with numerous Hamas members eliminated, including former leader Yahya Sinwar last month.

So far, Trump has chosen several pro-Israel leaders for his administration, including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as his pick for the U.S. ambassador to Israel and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as secretary of state.
In a cabinet meeting on Monday, Netanyahu reportedly said Israel’s ability to interfere with Iran’s nuclear program “will be reevaluated” with the incoming Trump administration, reported the Times of Israel.
