Former Israeli president Shimon Peres remained stable Friday morning three days after a major stroke, a spokesman for the 93-year-old said, after the Pope and Donald Trump offered their best wishes.
Israelis have been watching closely since their elder statesman and last remaining founding father was hospitalised on Tuesday feeling unwell and then suffered a stroke and internal bleeding.
His condition has improved since, but he remained sedated on Friday morning.
“There is no change at the moment,” a spokesman for Peres said.
“His condition is obviously still serious but at the moment he is stable.”
Doctors are hoping it will be possible to take Peres out of sedation in the coming days, though they are monitoring his condition hourly.
On Thursday his personal physician and son-in-law Rafi Walden told AFP that during times when they had taken him out of sedation, he had been able to squeeze his hand.
He has not been able to speak due to being intubated, Walden said.
