Rivlin calls Peres after latter’s heart attack

President Reuven Rivlin calls his predecessor Shimon Peres to wish him a speedy recovery after his heart attack earlier today.

Rivlin also asks Peres to take the opportunity to rest, but says he knows the chances are slim.

Maariv says the two “talked and laughed.”

Army Radio reports that Peres’s son, Chemi, says his father feels good and is in excellent condition after what was a relatively minor incident. He says the family hopes he will be released from the hospital soon.
