Peres to lie in state at Knesset
A former aide to Shimon Peres says his body will lie in state at the Knesset, or Israeli parliament, on Thursday before a state funeral at the country's national cemetery in Jerusalem on Friday.
Yona Bartal, his former aide, told Israel's Channel 10 TV that the plans were in line with Peres' wishes.
Peres died early Wednesday, two weeks after suffering a stroke.
