Earlier today, the Hamas terror group released a propaganda video of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, held captive by the terror group since October 7. The family gives permission to the media to use the video.
״Hersh’s cry is the collective cry of all the hostages – their time is rapidly running out,” the Hostages and Missing Families Forum says in a statement.
“We cannot afford to waste any more time; the hostages must be the top priority,” the statement adds. “All the hostages must be brought home – those alive to begin the process of rehabilitation, and those murdered for a dignified burial.”
Goldberg-Polin, 23, was taken captive at the Supernova music festival near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists burst across the border into Israel, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages, mostly civilians, many amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.
