Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, issued a statement to the media from Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, where his son Neriya is hospitalized after being wounded in yesterday's terror attack at a checkpoint on Route 443. The ambassador thanked the medical team treating his son and said: 'We understood it was a very complicated night. There was a possibility when I boarded the plane yesterday, there was a fear that I would land this morning without hope. We are full of hope that he will pull through this time and return to us healthy and whole.' Leiter added: 'My eldest daughter Sarah gave birth to a daughter during the war and became pregnant again. When she arrived at her brother's bedside yesterday, her water broke two weeks before the due date, and now she is lying 40 meters from her brother in intensive care.'
