Peres's condition remains unchanged, Rivlin visits family
The current president visited the former president's family in the hospital on Saturday night to offer his support; the fourth day after his stroke, Shimon Peres remains in serious but stable condition.
President Reuven Rivlin visited the family of his predecessor, Shimon Peres, in the Sheba Medical Center on Saturday night where Peres has remained since his stroke on Tuesday.
"About an hour ago, Shabbat left, and it certainly carried with it many prayers for the recovery of Shimon Peres," said Rivlin. "He has such a presence. He's a man who is in every place in the country and involved in every matter. I came to support the family. All of us hope that we'll see the ninth president get better."

Sheba's director, Prof. Yitzhak Kreis, updated the press on Peres's physical condition, which remains unchanged: serious, but stable. He said that a CT scan would be carried out on Sunday to decide on the next steps of his treatment.
