Son of Israel's US ambassador critically injured in West Bank car-ramming
–
Neutral summary
On September 23, 2026, a Palestinian man deliberately drove his car into Israeli soldiers and police at the Maccabim checkpoint west of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, seriously wounding reserve soldier Neria Leiter, the son of Israel's ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter. The attacker was killed by security forces at the scene. Neria suffered head injuries and was taken in critical condition to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. Ambassador Leiter, who was in the US, flew to his son's bedside, saying he needed a miracle. The attack came a day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the UN General Assembly. Leiter later criticized French President Emmanuel Macron for focusing on settler violence in his UN speech. According to The Jerusalem Post, Leiter said the experience differed from the night his eldest son fell in combat in 2023.
