Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the man who was critically wounded in a stabbing attack in the central Israeli city of Yavne last week.
The prime minister praises Niv Nehemiah, calling him a “hero,” as he sits at Nehemiah’s hospital bedside in the Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot.
“Niv is a hero, who fought against the terrorist with his two hands and prevented a great disaster,” Netanyahu says.
“We all prayed that he would recover,” Netanyahu says. “I saw him with his family, and it is simply heart-warming. I bless him and embrace him in the name of the entire people of Israel.”
Nehemiah, 43, regained consciousness on Sunday. His condition is improving, but remains serious, according to hospital officials.
