Jon and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, the parents of an American citizen who was taken hostage by Hamas during the attack on the Nova Music Festival, were met with chants of 'bring them home,' and said the release of those being held in Gaza 'not a political issue.
Nearly 11 months after he was taken hostage by Hamas, Israeli American Hersh Goldberg-Polin was found dead in Gaza. President Joe Biden said Saturday night that Goldberg-Polin was among six hostages held by Hamas whose bodies recovered in a tunnel under Rafah. The Israel Defense Forces said Hamas killed the six shortly before Israeli forces reached them. 'Hersh was among the innocents brutally attacked while attending a music festival for peace in Israel on October 7,' Biden said.
The circumstances under which the video was recorded remains unclear, and it is unclear whether Goldberg-Polin spoke of his own accord or if he was told to give a certain message. After the video of Goldberg-Polin was released, his mother, Rachel Goldberg-Polin, said she believed Netanyahu’s government should compromise in order to stop the suffering in both Israel and Gaza.
