President Shimon Peres, who is 86, collapsed while responding to questions on motzei shabbos while addressing young leadership of the Rabin Center in northern Tel Aviv. A paramedic who accompanies the president responded immediately, and Mr. Peres regained consciousness after a few moments.
The president was taken to a side room to recuperate and to permit the EMS personnel to evaluate his condition. While he refused to be transported to a hospital, he did eventually agree and paramedics transported him to Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.
Doctors report the president most definitely did not suffer a stroke or cardiac incident, adding “everyone should be in such good health, even those younger than the president”. Mr. Peres reluctantly agreed to permit a battery of tests to make absolutely certain his incident was nothing more than a simple fainting episode, which doctors attribute to the unusually high temperature in the hall in which he was addressing the audience. The president spent the night under observation.

One last warning from Hashem for him to do Teshuvah and to cut off ties with the vatican. The pope aint gonna help him out up there, thats for sure!!
Maybe Channel One’s coverage of him last week had something to do with this…
1, you mean DOWN there??
you forget — he has a bracha from the chofetz chainm (yarzeit today sunday) that he “will be saved from death”
what does that mean??????
