Michael Milner, son of Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine who was attacked by Jewish rioters near Ramallah, said in an interview with Ynet studio that "she is still in bed, it's hard for her to go out due to injuries to her back and ribs. The surgery yesterday was successful, so physically she feels better now, but mentally she is still very shaken." Milner said that U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee spoke with his mother and told her that "he is shocked by the incident and that he does not intend to give up on extended arrests for those responsible for this. He said he is hearing condemnations from the government."
