Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter has given an emotional update on his son Neria, who remains hospitalized in serious condition after being severely wounded in a terrorist ramming attack the previous day. Speaking from the hospital, Leiter noted that millions are praying not only for Neria’s recovery but also for victory in the broader battle against the evil exported from Tehran through its proxies. The family has asked the public to continue praying for Neria Dov ben Chana as medical teams work to stabilize him at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.

In an extraordinary turn of events, Neria’s sister Sarah arrived at the same hospital to be near her brother while in the final stages of pregnancy. Her water broke during the visit, and she gave birth to a baby girl overnight. She is now recovering just 40 meters away from her critically injured sibling. The juxtaposition of fear for one child’s life and the arrival of new life under the same roof has drawn widespread attention, underscoring both the personal toll of ongoing violence and the resilience of the family as they navigate profound grief and unexpected joy at once.
