Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that his decision to proceed with an operation in Rafah would remain unchanged, despite facing international pressure. Netanyahu indicated that the suggestion not to enter Rafah arose after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a warning regarding a potential halt in arms supplies.
“I greatly respect the President. He was with us at the beginning of the war, but we have no choice. We will enter, and if necessary, we will fight even with our fingernails,” Netanyahu stated.
He further remarked that there are instances when one must decline requests, even from the most powerful allies, including the American leader. Netanyahu also mentioned that during a meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump, he communicated plans concerning Iran.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the strategic necessity of the operation in Rafah superseded external advisories. He maintained that Israel must proceed with its objectives regardless of diplomatic pressures. His comments suggest a firm commitment to the planned military action, asserting that the need to enter the area is paramount to Israeli security interests.
