Can Israel stand alone without weapons deliveries from the US? | DW News

Israel says its military has enough weapons and munitions to press ahead with an offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. This comes after a warning from US President Joe Biden that Washington could cut some weapons exports to Israel if the offensive goes ahead – fearing massive civilian casualties. More than 100,000 people have already fled Rafah looking for safe haven, according to the UN. And for most, it's not the first time they've done so.

For more on this, we talk to military analyst Marina Miron from King’s College London.

And we talk to Middle East analyst Laura Blumenfeld. She served in the US State Department as senior policy advisor for the Middle East and joins us from Washington D.C.
