The coffin was picked up by the Red Cross earlier on Sunday and taken to Israel where the identity was established.
Goldin was killed in combat in 2014, at the age of 23. Since then, his family has been pushing to get his remains back.
All this time, his family has lived with deep anguish, and now they will be allowed to bury him in Israel, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Israeli media during Sunday's cabinet meeting.
The body was reportedly found in a tunnel under Rafah in southern Gaza on Saturday.
Since the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel on October 10, the remains of several of those taken hostage on October 7, 2023, have been gradually returned to Israel. A total of 28 dead hostages are to be handed over, of which four remain.
In exchange, Israel will hand over 15 dead Palestinians for every body released from Gaza.
