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.
