Israeli President Isaac Herzog eulogized Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin on Monday, apologizing "on behalf of the state of Israel" after Hamas murdered six captives over the weekend.
"Beloved Hersh, with a torn and broken heart, I stand here today as the President of the State of Israel, bidding you farewell and asking for your forgiveness, from you, and from Carmel, from Eden, from Almog, from Alex, and Ori, and from all your loved ones," Herzog said from the lecturn at Golberg-Polin's funeral in Jerusalem.
