Former Israeli President Shimon Peres in “critical but stable” condition after suffering stroke
Shimon Peres, 93, who was the president of
Israel from 2007 to 2014 is in a critical but
stable condition following a stroke attack on
Tuesday, his personal doctor said today.
Raphy Walden, who is Peres’s personal
physician as well as his son in law, said
“there was no imminent threat to” the
former president’s life. Peres’s chances
of survival, Valden said, are “pretty
good. I talked to him and asked him to
press my hand, and he did so vigorously,
and we are definitely convinced that he is
awake and listening and reacting,” Valden
told reporters gathered at the Sheba
Medical Center in Tel HaShomer.
This is good news compared to news from
Israel on Tuesday where the former president
suffered extensive inter-cranial bleeding
following the stroke.
