BREAKING NEWS: Doctors: ‘Serious deterioration’ in condition of Shimon Peres – Officials say sedated former president’s state has worsened over past 24 hours; Netanyahu: US support will stay strong with both Clinton, Trump | The Times of Israel

The Times of Israel is blogging Tuesday’s news as it unfolds.
Former president Shimon Peres’s condition has deteriorated significantly over the past 24 hours, and doctors fear he could be headed for multiple organ failure.
The 93-year-old Peres was hospitalized at Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv on September 13 after suffering a stroke. He has been under sedation since then, with his condition consistently described as serious but stable.
However, doctors now say his breathing, kidney function and several other indexes have dropped over the past few hours, raising concerns.
