Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, are currently addressing the audience at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Their son was abducted by Hamas on October 7 during the Nova music festival amidst the ongoing attacks on Israel. In a significant development, a video of their son was released by Hamas in April, providing the first confirmation of his well-being since the abduction.
Hersh Goldberg-Polin is one of the approximately 109 Israeli hostages held in Gaza as negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas are underway. The plight of these hostages has garnered international attention, with efforts being made to secure their safe release.
