The hostage was taken by Hamas from Nova music festival during the 7th October attack. Which resulted in the casualty of 1,200 and in the kidnapping of more than 200 people.

Just like spoken by other hostages, in propaganda videos published by Hamas, criticized the government of Israel especially Benjamin Netanyahu.

Further, he asked his family to remain strong and extended his wishes for Passover festival. (Which is a Jewish holiday).

Reaction Of Polin’s parents

The parents of the hostage expressed their relief seeing the face of their son after a long time. But however, they also expressed their concern about him and other victims.

Later, his family asked for his release and other hostages.
