Opposition leader MK Yair Lapid has responded to the tragic passing of Lucy Dee Hy"d after days during which she hovered between life and death in Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.

"Our hearts break to hear of the passing of Leah Dee, just a day after her two daughters were buried," Lapid stated. "This is a tragedy that it is impossible to get one's mind around. At such moments, I and the entire nation wish only to strengthen the Dee family and embrace them at this most difficult of times. May Leah's memory be for a blessing, as too the memories of Maia and Rina."
