This marks the first indication of the 23-year-old's well-being since his abduction by the terrorist organization on October 7.
The video, as reported by the Times of Israel, shows Goldberg-Polin identifying himself as an Israeli and stating that he has been in captivity for "nearly 200 days." This statement suggests that the video was recorded recently.
Goldberg-Polin appears in the video with a closely cropped haircut and missing his left arm below the elbow. The loss of his limb is a grim reminder of the events that unfolded when Hamas attacked the Nova music festival in the Negev desert in the early hours of October 7.

Goldberg-Polin was attending the festival with a friend when the attack occurred. He narrowly escaped the initial onslaught, only to be captured on video being loaded into a truck, his left arm visibly mutilated. This chilling footage serves as a stark testament to the brutality of the incident and the ongoing ordeal faced by Goldberg-Polin.
