Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of Israel, will receive Israeli citizenship papers in Geneva this week. They will be brought to him by Foreign Minister Moshe Shertok, who will land in Geneva on his way to the United Nations session in Paris.
Dr. Weizmann is expected to fly back to Israel in the same plane which will bring Shertok to Geneva. He will take up his official duties in Israel immediately upon his arrival there.
