Families of US hostages in Gaza hold out hope for imminent release

Citing both the suffering of civilians in Gaza and their own agony, they urge negotiators to get the job done on a possible cease-fire deal.

For nearly 150 days, the families of six American hostages held in Gaza have endured unspeakable agony.

Now as President Biden says he hopes to see a cease-fire soon, they have a message to negotiators working on a possible hostage deal.

"There is just too much suffering, too much angst, too much agony," said Rachel Goldberg, whose U.S. citizen son Hersh Goldberg-Polin is still being held captive in Gaza.

"It's sort of if you had a branding iron always searing into your skin on your back," Goldberg explained, adding that she believes it's past time for the war to end and for the hostages to come home.

"There are hundreds of thousands of innocent Gazans who are also suffering. You have an abyss of misery over here. And I think everyone with any leadership role at all must step forward and say, it's enough. It's enough now," Goldberg said.
