Peres’s granddaughter says he looks comfortable, is not suffering

Shimon Peres’s granddaughter says he seems to be comfortable and not suffering, a day after he was hospitalized having suffered a stroke.

“I was at his side with the family and his excellent [medical] team most of the night and all morning,” Mika Almog writes on Facebook, in a post accompanied by a picture of her and Peres.

“He slept. He seems comfortable, not suffering. I hope he is regaining his strength. The rest is unknown at this point,” she writes.

“The dedicated and wonderful medical team at Sheba [Medical Center] is doing an amazing job. Thank you all and all of them for the support, love and prayers in all forms. Bottom line, one can understand if God claims him, but for now we are putting up a fight. Sending much love back, from all of us, and especially from him.”
