Democratic US vice presidential nominee Tim Walz weighs into the IDF’s recovery of six hostages slain by Hamas, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

“The anguish of losing a child is something no family should have to endure. Gwen and I send our deepest condolences to the Goldberg-Polin family, after Hamas’ murder of their son Hersh,” Walz tweets.

“Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization — and we condemn their continued atrocities against both Americans and Israelis in the strongest possible terms,” he adds.
