Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been diagnosed with Hernia, in strong remarks on Sunday (Mar 31) made it clear that the pressure put by US is not the reason why Rafah operation has not yet been started. He also refuted claims that Ramadan is the reason why Israel has not entered the city of Rafah.&nbsp;He said that is no "hesitancy" about the operation. "It won’t take a lot of time. Nothing will stop us, not US pressure," he said.&nbsp;

It is worth noting that US President Joe Biden earlier cautioned Israel that its offensive in Rafah city in southern Gaza is a 'red line'. However, Biden at the time downplayed his remarks immediately and said, "it is a red line but I'm never going to leave Israel".

The remarks raised speculations over deteriorating relations between the leaders.&nbsp;

The tension between US and Israel was also visible when Israeli PM was asked about the cancellation of delegation to Washington.&nbsp;Netanyahu said, “I told them, ‘Don’t do it. It will send an extremely grave message to Hamas: They don’t have to release a single hostage, and they can get a ceasefire.”

This came after US allowed UNSC resolution on Gaza ceasefire to pass by abstaining and not exercising its veto.&nbsp;“We will find the way to dialogue on this issue. But I thought it was important to send the message on that very day to the entire international community, and also to Hamas. And that was an important message that I stand behind," Netanyahu said.

“It’s the right thing to do operationally and internationally,” he reportedly said while adding, "Whoever says that I am not doing everything to return our abductees is wrong and misleading."&nbsp;Meanwhile, while responding to those who are calling for elections, Netanyahu said, "They will silence Israel.

He further added that the whole world was ganging up against&nbsp;Israel and blamed it on a combination of ignorance and antisemitism.

Netanyahu, during the presser before his scheduled surgery at 9 pm local time, said that during his talks with the US President Joe Biden he thanked him for the solidarity, “but I did not appreciate the decision in the Security Council. I thought it was a deplorable decision, since for the first time it disconnected the ceasefire…and the release of hostages. That’s why I thought I had to send a clear message on this issue.”

Benjamin Netanyahu told the top US diplomat Antony Blinken on Friday that Israel was prepared to "do it alone" if Washington opposes its plans for an assault on Rafah, the Gaza city where more than a million displaced Palestinians are sheltering.

Netanyahu tells Blinken Israel will 'do it alone' in Rafah push

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday (Mar 22) that Israel, if required, will enter into the southern Gaza city of Rafah even without the backing of the United States.

During a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Tel Aviv earlier, Netanyahu conveyed Israel's stance, stating that the only way to crack down on Hamas was by confronting the militant group&nbsp;within Rafah, a city bordering Egypt. Rafah is an important gateway for the movement of aid in and out of the Gaza Strip and the offensive might play an added hindrance to the situation there.&nbsp;

Netanyahu said, "I told him that I hope we will do it with the support of the US, but if we have to - we will do it alone," reported Reuters.

Blinken's visit to Israel comes amid ongoing efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza, with discussions also focusing on humanitarian concerns and the release of hostages. Following the meeting with Netanyahu, Blinken also met with the Israeli war cabinet for extensive discussions lasting approximately two and a half hours, as per reports.&nbsp;

During a news conference in Egypt, Blinken stated,&nbsp;"There’s a clear consensus around a number of shared priorities."
