Former Israeli president and Noble Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres saw "real improvement" today but remained in serious condition after the 93-year-old suffered a major stroke, his doctor said.
"There is another real improvement today," Peres's personal physician and son-in-law Rafi Walden told AFP, describing his condition as serious but stable.
He said it was likely his condition would remain that way for the coming days.
