One year ago today, at 6:29am, Hamas invaded Israel, and committed the most heinous of crimes, murdering more than a thousand people, mostly civilians, and taking 250 hostages - scores are still captive today. 23-year-old Romi Gonen was taken hostage that horrific day from the Nova music festival. She spent her 24th birthday, this summer, in captivity. Every single day her mother Meirav has been fighting tirelessly to bring her home from Gaza. Meirav spoke with Christiane for the first time late October last year. She joins the show again today from Tel Aviv.?

Als on today's show: Rana Salman, Co-director, "Combatants for Peace" & May Pundak, Israeli Executive Director, "A Land for All"; Al Jazeera English correspondent Youmna ElSayed?
