Former Israeli head of state Shimon Peres died early Wednesday at a hospital in Tel Aviv surrounded by his family and loved ones. He was rushed to a hospital on September 13 after suffering from a major stroke. After two weeks of living on a respirator, the last member of Israel’s founding fathers finally succumbed to his deteriorating condition. Peres was 93 years old.
“Earlier Tuesday, a visibly shaken minister Aryeh Deri, Israel’s defense minister, told reporters that he had been praying for Peres at his bedside,” reports CNN.
