'Not yet out of danger': Israeli envoy to US shares update on son following terror attack

The family thanked the medical staff and the public for their prayers and immense support and asked people to continue praying for the recovery of Neria Dov ben Chana.

Israel's ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, provided an update on his son Neria's condition following a recent terrorist attack. Neria, an IDF reservist and American citizen, remains in serious condition with severe head injuries. Despite recent progress, he has yet to regain consciousness. The ambassador shared the information in a video recorded for an Evangelical Christian community memorial ceremony for the victims of the October 7 attack in Jerusalem.

The Leiter family emphasized that Neria is receiving the best medical care at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem and expressed gratitude for the support received. The family thanked the medical staff, the public, and Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, for their prayers and assistance.
