Israel has strongly rejected criticism from world leaders after its security cabinet approved a plan to take control of Gaza City.
Defence minister Israel Katz said countries that condemn Israel and threaten sanctions "will not weaken our resolve".
"Our enemies will find us as one strong, united fist that will strike them with great force," he added.
Israel's decision to expand its war in Gaza sparked condemnation from the UN and several countries, including the UK, France and Canada, and prompted Germany to halt military exports to Israel.
The plan approved by the Israeli security cabinet lists five "principles" for ending the war - disarming Hamas, returning all hostages, demilitarising the Gaza Strip, taking security control of the territory, and establishing "an alternative civil administration that is neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority".
