The Hamas movement released a video of American-Israeli hostage Hirsch Goldberg-Pollin on Wednesday, the first evidence of his survival after his serious injury while being held captive on October 7.

Goldberg-Pollin, 23 years old, was abducted from the Nova music festival during Hamas's attacks on Israel when more than 1,200 people were killed and over 200 were taken hostage.

The undated video shows part of his left arm missing several inches above his hand.

A video recorded on October 7 shows Goldberg-Pollin with serious injuries to his arm. A live account from a young woman who was with him in the shelter when Hamas attacked said he helped throw grenades before his arm exploded from the elbow down.

The latest video shows Goldberg-Pollin sitting in a chair addressing the camera, occasionally pointing with his injured arm, introducing himself, and giving his date of birth and the names of his parents.

He said he has "been here for nearly 200 days," indicating that the video was filmed shortly before Tuesday, the two-hundredth day of the war.

Goldberg-Pollin's hair is cut short in the video, which is edited with several shots from wide-angle to close-up.

He directs criticism at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, as other Israeli hostages have done in Hamas's propaganda videos. It is almost certain he is speaking under duress, having been held in Gaza for six months.

He mentions Israeli government ministers who are having dinner with their families, a clear reference to the Jewish Passover holiday, which began on Monday night and is traditionally celebrated with a family dinner.

He urges his family to stay strong for him and ends by saying he hopes to bring them some comfort during the holiday.

Goldberg-Pollin is among the 129 most well-known hostages still in Gaza. Signs and murals are displayed in Jerusalem saying, “Bring Hirsch home,” and his parents Rachel and Jonathan regularly meet with senior American officials in Washington to advocate for the hostage cause.

Among the 129 hostages still held in Gaza, the Israeli government believes that 33 of them have died.

Rachel Goldberg-Pollin, Hirsch's mother, has campaigned for her son's release throughout the past six months. She told CNN in January that she wears a piece of tape for every day that passes since Hirsch was abducted by Hamas fighters.

Hirsch, 23, was preparing to go on a planned trip around the world. On December 27, during the time he was scheduled to leave, his mother went to the airport with friends and handed out Hirsch's posters to passengers on his flight, asking them to send photos from the places they visit.
