Abbas set to leave Ramallah hospital

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is set to be discharged from hospital on Sunday, according to his media office.

In a statement, the media office said the Palestinian leader will leave Ramallah’s Arab Advisory Hospital at 00:02 p.m. local time.

Abbas was taken to hospital last week after suffering a fever. He remained there, where he was examined by doctors at the hospital’s cardiological department.

Earlier this month, Abbas, 82, underwent a medical operation on one of his ears. Since then, he has returned to the hospital twice, prompting speculation about the state of his health.
