Jordanian king call to check on Abbas’s health
Jordan’s King Abdullah II calls Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to check on his health, the Jordanian monarchy says.
Abbas, 82, was hospitalized for exhaustion over the weekend. Hospital officials initially only said that Abbas underwent routine exams and that the results were good.
However, doctors and Palestinian officials said Sunday that Abbas was exhausted. One physician said that Abbas suffered from an inflammation of the stomach, aggravated by stress.
