Hamas released a video of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was kidnapped during the Nova music festival attacks on Israel in which 1,200 people died and over 200 were taken hostage. The video shows Goldberg-Polin with part of his left arm missing, identifying himself and criticizing the Israeli government. He has been held captive in Gaza for six months and is likely speaking under duress. Mentioning Israeli ministers' holiday dinners, he urges his family to stay strong, expressing hope of comforting them during the Jewish holiday of Passover.
