Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that his country is ready to “stand alone” in its fight against Hamas terrorists, responding to President Joe Biden’s announcement that the United States will cut off ammunition supplies to Jerusalem if the Israel Defense Forces launch a large-scale invasion of Rafah, the last remaining Hamas stronghold in Gaza.

Netanyahu made the remarks in a video posted on X.

Noting that Yom Ha’atzmaut, a holiday commemorating the 1948 Israeli Declaration of Independence, takes place early next week, Netanyahu reminded viewers that Israel won its independence without international support.
