The parents of 23-year-old American Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who Hamas kidnapped in its Oct. 7 attack in Israel, have made a plea for their son’s safe return at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, murdering 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and taking another 250 people hostage, including Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was attending the music festival Tribe of Nova to celebrate his birthday at the time.
