"Former president and Prime Minister Shimon Peres's condition is serious, but stable following a stroke earlier on Tuesday. In an update to the press Wednesday morning, Prof. Yitzhak Kreiss, Director of Sheba Medical Center, and Prof. Rafi Walden, personal physician and son-in-law of Shimon Peres, added, "When there was a pause in the administration of anesthetic drugs, we realized that he is responsive and probably attentive to what we tell him. He squeezed our hands."

Peres' family continues to be by his side at the hospital and in the afternoon, another assessment on his condition will be conducted. 

In a statement Wednesday morning, Prof. Yitzhak Kreiss said "Mr. Peres made it through the night safely. His condition is stable. Serious, but stable. We are moving him to the intensive care unit of the neurology department for further treatment and observation. He is still under the supervision of a multidisciplinary team of experts and will undergo another assessment in the afternoon. We are in close contact with the family, which has accompanied him and not left his bedside. We are sharing all decisions with the family.

 Former president Shimon Peres suffered a stroke on Tuesday evening, and was rushed to Sheba Medical Center earlier in the day after consulting with his doctor and informing him that he was feeling weak. An initial CT scan showed a brain hemorrhage, and the doctors decided to sedate the former president and put him on a respirator as he undergoes medical treatment in the ICU. A second CT scan to further assess his condition showed no improvement."
