Prior to departing for the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an unscheduled bedside visit Wednesday evening to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem to support the family of Neriah Leiter. Leiter, the 30-year-old son of Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter, remains in critical condition following Wednesday's vehicular terror attack on Route 443, prompting the Prime Minister to join the family in calling on the public to pray for the recovery of Neriah Dov ben Chana.
