To leave israel. Hes never going to cut off all weapons, leave them without an iron dome or anything like that . Clearly that did not come across as much of a threat to the israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, who said, as you mentioned, that the offensive in rafah on the ground will press ahead as planned he said that the fighting there could take two months, maybe six weeks, perhaps only one month, but it will happen regardless, despite warnings from the us and from even israels closest allies, that going into rafah, given you have well over 1 Million People sheltering there and really no other safe place for them to go inside gaza would be catastrophic.
