Hamas releases video of Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin alive, parents plea for his return in emotional response video. #BringHershHome
Hamas has recently released a propaganda video featuring Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, where he appears alive and speaking to the camera. This video is part of a series released by Hamas since October 7th, which many media outlets have chosen not to publish to avoid furthering Hamas's psychological warfare tactics.
In the video, Goldberg-Polin expresses his love for his family, criticizes the Israeli government, and directs his frustration towards Prime Minister Netanyahu for the ongoing situation in Gaza. Despite the release of the video, it is important to note that previously released hostages have reported being coerced into saying certain things under pressure.
In response to the video, Hersh's parents, Rachel and Jon Goldberg-Polin, expressed a mix of relief at seeing their son alive but concern for his well-being and that of other hostages in the region. They issued a plea to leaders involved in negotiations, including Qatar, Egypt, the United States, Hamas, and Israel, urging them to come together, make brave decisions, and reach a deal to reunite the hostages with their families and end the suffering in the region.
Rachel Goldberg-Polin has been recognized for her tireless efforts to secure her son's release and that of all hostages in Gaza. She has met with world leaders, including US President Joe Biden, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Pope Francis, in her quest to bring her son home. The family has also launched a social media campaign called "Bring Hersh Home" to raise awareness and garner support.
Goldberg-Polin's inclusion on Time magazine's list of the "100 most influential people" highlights her dedication to advocating for the hostages and their families. In a recent interview, she emphasized the importance of hope and her belief that her son will return home. Despite the challenges, she remains steadfast in her determination to see her son reunited with his loved ones.
