Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter posted on X Wednesday evening that his son Neria Dov ben Chana 'needs a miracle,' reflecting the gravity of his condition after being wounded in a Palestinian terror attack. 'They choose death — we choose life,' Leiter wrote, thanking the IDF and Shaare Zedek Medical Center for fighting to save his son. He noted that Neria continued serving in reserves after losing his older brother Moshe Yedidya Leiter in Gaza, accumulating hundreds of reserve days since October 7.
According to The Zioneer's earlier reporting, the attack occurred in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria. Leiter had previously thanked the medical staff in a post at 20:34 Jerusalem. This latest post suggests his son's condition may have taken a critical turn, with the Ambassador calling for national unity and prayer, stating: 'I believe in the power of prayer... when the people of Israel unite, miracles happen.'
The Ambassador's son, Neria Dov ben Chana, remains hospitalized at Shaare Zedek Medical Center. The IDF and security forces continue their operations against terror infrastructure in the area.
