Mother of Former Israeli Hostage Reacts to Release of All Living Hostages
There are scenes of true joy in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square as freed Israeli hostages reunite with family after a harrowing two years in captivity at the hands of Hamas and other militants. Meirav Leshem Gonen knows the agony experienced by those receiving loved ones today. Leshem Gonen's daughter Romi was held by Hamas for 471 days. Released in January, she spent six months in the hospital.
