The parents of an Israeli-American man held captive by Hamas for 201 days have released an emotional video appealing for his release.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, was kidnapped at the Nova musical festival when Hamas launched an attack on Israel on 7 October, last year.

Yesterday (24 April), Hamas released a video of Mr Goldberg-Polin, with half of his arm missing.

In a video released today, Rachel and Jon Goldberg-Polin pleaded for his release and also called for world leaders to intervene.

“We love you, stay strong, survive”, they told their son at the end of the video message.
