The family of an Israeli captive whose body was recovered over the weekend is calling for action to release other hostages in Gaza. Their son, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, appeared in a video pleading with the US to help end the conflict.
In the video released by the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, Goldberg-Polin directed a message to President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken, urging American citizens to intervene. The 23-year-old dual US-Israeli citizen criticized the Israeli government and called the situation “madness.”
The family of the deceased captive approved the video’s release, emphasizing the need to free the remaining captives in Gaza. They stated, “No other family should go through what our family has endured.”
This video follows other footage released by Hamas of six captives, with Hersh being the fourth. The remaining captives’ videos are expected to be released soon.
