Peres, Francis symbolically plant tree
After about a 15-minute meeting, Peres and the pope enter the sunlight for the public ceremony.
Before going on stage, the two stop next to an olive tree to symbolically plant it while strolling through the residence gardens.
Interestingly, though Francis is about 15 years younger than Peres, it seems the Israeli president is the one helping him down the stairs and not vice versa.
