Parents of hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin discuss hopes for son’s release

There are about 133 hostages still captive in Gaza. Negotiations are continuing for a ceasefire to help get them released. But so far, they have failed. One of the hostages is 23-year-old Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival. His parents Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin have been working hard to bring him home. The World’s Marco Werman sat down with them last week in Jerusalem to find out more about their son.
