Rafah is also a relatively small area, so it seems unlikely to have any significant military effect.
Today, President Joe Biden warned that the US would freeze arms supplies if Israeli forces launch a full-scale offensive in Rafah. This marked his strongest language to date on the issue.
But can Israel achieve its goals without American weapons?
Military analyst Sean Bell says it's very likely they can. According to him, even though the US has said that it is stopping the supply of weapons, it will not stop the supply of defensive weapons.
Bell says Israel will have "substantial stockpiles" and will use them if the decision is made to go to Rafah.
Rafah is also a relatively small area, so it seems unlikely to have any significant military effect, he added.
According to Bell, Biden's comments are more likely to be a "political statement."
" The International Court of Justice said that Israel must do more to protect the civilian population, and any nation that provides weapons to a country that then uses them in violation of international law also becomes vulnerable. I think this is a really clear statement from President Biden. He doesn't want to be tarred with that brush like everyone else. I don't think it's going to have a military impact, but I think that's a reflection of the frustration that Biden feels with Netanyahu's actions. " military expert./ SkyNews
