Simcha Goldin
Simcha Goldin is a prominent Israeli figure and the father of Hadar Goldin, an IDF soldier who was killed in action and whose body has been held by Hamas since 2014. In recent years, he has become an outspoken advocate for the return of Israeli soldiers and citizens held captive by Hamas, criticizing the Israeli government's handling of negotiations and the broader implications for national security. Marking the 11th anniversary of his son's abduction, Goldin has publicly condemned the government's policies, asserting that the failure to recover captives encourages further hostage-taking by Hamas. His relentless quest for justice for his son has made him a significant voice in Israeli society, reflecting the deep emotional and political complexities surrounding the issue of missing soldiers.
