'Will fight with our fingernails', says Netanyahu after Biden's snub

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his first direct response on Thursday to Biden’s warning, said that if Israel “has to stand alone, we will stand alone.” He asserted that the country's military was stronger than in the previous decades and said it would "fight with our fingernails" if required. Netanyahu continued. “We are determined and we are united to defeat our enemy and those who seek to destroy us… If we need to, we will fight with our fingernails. But we have much more than fingernails.” 
Netanyahu addressed the nation soon after United States President Joe Biden said that the US would not provide offensive weapons to Israel for its assault on Rafah in the ongoing war against Hamas.In a speech marking Israel's annual Holocaust memorial day, Netanyahu said that no nation stepped up to help their country when Jewish people were left defenseless 80 years ago. “Eighty years ago, in the Holocaust, the Jewish people were totally defenceless against those who sought our destruction. No nation came to our aid,” he said.
The Israel Defense Forces asserted that the military had enough munitions for its planned missions, after United States President Joe Biden threatened that some arms shipments would be frozen if Israel launched a planned offensive in southern Gaza’s Rafah.“The IDF has armaments for the missions it is planning, including missions in Rafah. We have what we need,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said, responding to a question at a press conference.
The White House on Wednesday confirmed a delay in the transfer of 2,000- and 500-pound bombs over concerns that the IDF could use them in densely populated Rafah, as it has in other parts of Gaza.Biden announced that his administration would stop providing Israel with offensive weapons if it launched a full-on ground invasion into populated parts of Rafah as part of its campaign to topple Hamas.“I’ve made it clear to Bibi and the war cabinet: They’re not going to get our support if they go [into] these population centers,” Biden said, using Netanyahu’s nickname.
