Former Israeli President Shimon Peres has had a serious stroke and is currently breathing with the aid of a respirator. Peres
was rushed to a hospital in Tel Aviv on Tuesday after experiencing
chest pains and an abnormal heartbeat and severe bleeding. Officials
at the hospital have described his condition as serious and added that
he has been placed in a medically induced coma in the hospital’s
intensive care unit. In January, Peres was taken to hospital over chest pains a week after being treated for a heart attack.

Peres has held numerous official positions in the Israeli regime during
his seven decades of political life. He has served as the Israeli
president (2007-2014) and as the regime’s premier and military chief. Under Peres, nearly 4,000 Palestinian lives were lost during two wars launched by the Israeli regime between 2007 and 2014. In
the second war, which began on July 8, 2014 and ended on August 26,
some 11,100 people – including 3,374 children, 2,088 women, and 410
elderly – were also injured.
