Israeli President Shimon Peres smiles as he answers a journalist's question during a news conference with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak (not pictured) in Cairo in this July 7, 2009 file photo. Peres collapsed during a ceremony in Tel Aviv on September 12, 2009, but the 86-year-old Nobel peace laureate regained consciousness before being taken to hospital, a presidency spokeswoman said. She said he fainted for only a few moments and had initially told doctors he did not want to be taken for treatment.[Xinhua/Reuters]
