Jerusalem, 11 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Neria Leiter, son of Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, was discharged from Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center Wednesday after more than a month of hospitalization following a devastating car-ramming attack.
Leiter remains unconscious but is breathing independently and has been transferred to a specialized neurological and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation facility.
Leiter was admitted in critical condition on September 23, and remained in immediate life-threatening danger for several days. He underwent multiple major neurosurgical and orthopedic operations and spent weeks sedated and on a ventilator in intensive care. After his condition stabilized, he was transferred to a specialized neurological-neurosurgical intensive care unit.
His family thanked Shaare Zedek’s medical teams for their dedicated, professional care and requested privacy and continued prayers for his recovery.
