Pope to meet Peres, sick kids
After meeting the chief rabbis, the pope will now leave for a meeting with President Shimon Peres at his residence in the leafy Rehavia suburb.
While there, the two will hold a private meeting with Israeli and Vatican officials.
They will also give public remarks at a ceremony at the residence.
The pope will also meet with a group of sick Christian-Arab children whose wish to meet the pope is being made possible through the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
A group of students from a Catholic high school in Haifa are also on hand for the stop, along with a large gaggle of press.
