Washington is considering shelving the idea of sanctioning the whole Netzach Yehudah Battalion due to the fierce criticism from across the Israeli political spectrum.

The Battalion, under the shadow of possibly being sanctioned by the US State Department for alleged human rights violations, continues to operate in Gaza.

Eitan Birenbaum, who served in the Netzach Yehudah Battalion and currently serves in its reserve battalion, spoke with JFeed about his comrades' response to Secretary of State Blinken's intentions to sanction the unit for alleged human rights violations.

The Prime Minister said that additional military efforts will come due to Hamas "heardening its heart" and demands to enable the freeing of the hostages.

Benny Gantz told Secretary of State Blinken that there was no need for sanctions, as Israel has a strong and independent judicial system applicable to the whole of the IDF.

The Charedi Netzach Yehudah Battalion operated in the Gaza Strip for the first time, raiding Beit Hanoun, killing terrorists and destroying terrorist infrastructures.

A Charedi who voluntarily served in the IDF and then returned home to Brooklyn put on the uniform again, leaving a family and six children behind to help out after October 7.

With the uproar over the draft exemption for Charedi yeshivah students, Interior Minister Arbel sent a letter to the Netzach Yehudah association saying "we will help with everything you need."
