President Shimon Peres has sent a baby gift to the newest addition of France's first family.

Giulia Sarkozy was born last Wednesday to French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. To mark the occasion, Peres sent a personal congratulatory gift: a pink shirt that reads "I'm a princess" in Hebrew with matching pants. Giulia also received a book of Psalms from the president.

"I send my congratulations to Carla and the baby who, I am sure, will be a source of joy to the Sarkozy family and of pride to her parents," the president wrote in his greeting, adding that the "people of Israel join me in sending you our best wishes."

Christophe Bigot, France's ambassador to Israel, will personally deliver the gift to President Sarkozy.
