Jerusalem: Doctors treating Shimon Peres say the former Israeli president has survived the night, but remains in serious condition after suffering a major stroke.
Dr Yitzhak Kreiss, director of the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, says Peres was in a medically induced coma today.
He said the bleeding in the brain had been halted and that Peres' condition is "serious but stable."
Peres is the elder statesman of Israeli politics, one of the country's most admired symbols and the last surviving link to its founding fathers.
