Hamas released a hostage video on Wednesday showing a well-known Israeli-American man who was among scores of people abducted by the terrorists.
FILE - A poster depicting Israel i-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin is displayed in Re'im, southern Israel at the Gaza border, Feb. 26, 2024, at a memorial site for the Nova music festival site where he was kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. The video was the first sign of life of Hersh Goldberg-Polin since Hamas ’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel , and its release ignited new protests in Jerusalem calling on the government to do more to secure the captives' release.
Goldberg-Polin is one of the most recognized captives. Posters with his image are pinned up across Israel. His mother, Rachel Goldberg, has met with world leaders and addressed the United Nations. We are here today with a plea to all of the leaders of the parties who have been negotiating to date,” said his father, Jon Polin, naming Egypt, Israel, Qatar, the United States and Hamas.
After the Hamas video was made public, hundreds of Israelis gathered outside Netanyahu’s official residence in central Jerusalem on Wednesday, calling on the government to strike a deal to bring home hostages. Many held posters of Goldberg-Polin, and some of the protesters set cardboard boxes on fire.
Hamas and other militants abducted around 250 people in the Oct. 7 attack and killed around 1,200, mostly civilians. They are still believed to be holding around 100 hostages and the remains of some 30 others. Most of the rest were freed in November in exchange for the release of 240 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
