RAMAT GAN, Israel: Former Israeli president and **bel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres saw “real improvement” on Thursday but remained in serious condition after the 93-year-old suffered a major stroke, his doctor said.
The country has been on edge over the condition of the elder statesman, Israel’s last remaining founding father, after he was admitted to hospital on Tuesday feeling unwell and suffered a stroke with internal bleeding while there.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, criticised by Peres in recent years, visited the hospital on Wednesday night, saying “we feel some relief... because this evening he is better than he was yesterday evening”.
He could **t enter Peres’s room in intensive care and was given a briefing outside due to the sensitivity of his condition.
Peres’s personal physician and son-in-law Rafi Walden told AFP on Thursday that “there is a**ther real improvement today,” describing his condition as serious but stable.
He said it was likely his condition would remain that way in the coming days.
Peres was still breathing with the help of a respirator, but was able to respond when his sedation was lessened as he had the previous day.
He has **t been able to speak due to being intubated, Walden said.
“He squeezes the hand and he moves his legs,” he said. “Definitely these are indications that he is listening and is responsive to our calls.”
Peres has held nearly every major ****** in the country, serving twice as prime minister. He was president, a mostly ceremonial role, from 2007 to 2014.
He won the **bel Peace Prize in 1994 along with Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat for his role in negotiating the Oslo accords.
The former hawk turned dove is widely respected both in Israel and abroad, regularly meeting world leaders and celebrities in recent years, seemingly charming them along the way.
In March, he met supermodel Naomi Campbell at his Peres Centre for Peace for an event related to International Women’s Day.
On the same day, he met visiting US Vice President Joe Biden. The Times of Israel reported that former US president Bill Clinton, who helped foster the Oslo accords, had called more than once to ask about Peres’s condition.
Former British prime minister Tony Blair and Russian President Vladimir Putin also called, it reported, citing a Peres spokesperson.
While doctors saw cause for optimism in Peres’s improvement, they also **ted that he remained at risk.
