Israeli father says even in Hamas captivity, his daughter heard his pleas to come home alive

For more than 470 days, Eitan Gonen publicly pleaded with his daughter to stay alive while in Hamas captivity. "She said, ’Dad, I came home alive,'” Eitan Gonen told The Associated Press on Tuesday in his first interview with an international news outlet since her release. “I know that my interview back then gave Romi a lot of strength, a lot of hope, something to cling on,” he said.
