Shimon Peres said to be “close to death”

JERUSALEM: -- Former Israeli president and Nobel laureate Shimon Peres is said to be in a grave condition in hospital.

 

The 93-year-old was taken into hospital after a major stroke two weeks ago.

 

His condition was improving until he had a severe setback on Tuesday, according to Israeli media.

 

A hospital spokesperson said his condition “was and remains serious, there is a real threat to his life.”

 

Peres, Israel’s most eminent elder statesman, was part of almost every major development from the country’s founding in 1948.

 

In a career spanning nearly 70 years, he served in a dozen cabinets and was twice a Labour prime minister.

 

He shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the late former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin and the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for the interim Oslo peace accord.

Maybe they can keep him alive in a coma like they did with Sharon when he suffered a "stroke".
