Courageous mother and father of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American hostage held captive by Hamas for final 201 days have spoken out after his video was launched by the phobia organisation.
Hamas’ armed wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, posted the disturbing video on their Telegram channel and confirmed Hersh Goldberg-Polin seated in opposition to a plain background. He was seen carrying a darkish pink shirt. He identifies himself, sharing private particulars like his birthdate and California birthplace.
Whereas the video has been shared on social media, its date and authenticity stay unconfirmed. His mother and father have given permission for his video to be shared.
Goldberg-Polin’s mother and father supplied a plea to all the leaders who’ve been negotiating for a hostage deal, naming Qatar, Egypt, america, Hamas and Israel.
“Be courageous, lean in, seize this second and get a deal accomplished to reunite all of us with our family members and finish the struggling on this area,” they urged. “Hersh, we heard your voice immediately for the primary time in 201 days and in case you can hear us, we’re telling you, we love you, keep sturdy, survive.”

What does the Hersh Goldberg-Polin video present?
Within the video, Hersh is heard recounting being with mates on the Nova Music Pageant when Hamas breached the border, launching a lethal assault on attendees on October 7. Lasting almost three minutes, the video reveals Hersh interesting to the Israeli authorities to safe their launch.
It is unclear if he is talking from a Hamas-provided script. As he condemns Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying he needs to be ashamed of himself as there was nobody to guard him when Hamas attacked.
On the morning of the assault, alarms rang out, alerting Hersh and his spouse. At 8 a.m., he messaged her, saying, “I like you.” Ten minutes later, one other message adopted: “I am sorry.”
Earlier video proof from Hamas’ assault on the music pageant revealed Hersh dropping his arm from the elbow down resulting from grenades thrown into the shelter the place he and others sought refuge. A girl who claims to have been within the bunker throughout the assault said that Hersh had tried to throw grenades out earlier than struggling his harm.
