Hamas issues video showing Israeli-American hostage Goldberg-Polin

JERUSALEM, April 24 (Reuters) - The Islamist movement Hamas published a video on Wednesday apparently showing Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an Israeli-American seized during Hamas's Oct. 7 attack on Israel and taken into Gaza, alive. The short, undated video showed the 23-year-old missing a lower arm, but otherwise apparently healthy. He was shown saying he had sustained serious injuries during the Oct. 7 attack "after I tried using my body as a shield to protect myself and other fearful civilians". His mother Rachel Goldberg-Polin has been campaigning for the release of her son, who was abducted at the Nova music festival and is one of 133 Israeli hostages still in captivity after more than 100 were released last year. Responding to the video on Wednesday, his parents urged leaders involved in ceasefire negotiations to reach a deal. "Seeing a video of Hersh today is overwhelming. We're relieved to see him alive but we're also concerned about his health and wellbeing as well as that of all of the other hostages and all of those suffering in this region," his father, Jonathan Polin, said in a video message.
