Doctors at Hadassah Medical Center have ordered Aliza Begin back to the intensive care ward of the hospital. The Premier’s wife was admitted to the hospital on the eve of Yom Kippur, suffering from severe respiratory problems. She was discharged from the intensive care ward and transferred to the general ward after her condition improved last week. Over the weekend, however, Mrs. Begin’s condition deteriorated again. A hospital spokesman described her condition as stable. Premier Menachem Begin has postponed a visit to Zaire because of his wife’s illness.
