Mahmoud Abbas hospitalized for third day, without a release date
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas remains in hospital for a third day Tuesday with pneumonia, with a hospital spokeswoman saying there is as yet no timeframe for his discharge.
“He is doing fine but still needs to take care,” the spokeswoman for the Istishari Arab Hospital near Ramallah tells AFP. “Until now there is no news about a timeframe for when he might leave.”
Pictures and video of 83-year-old Abbas walking around the wards and reading a newspaper were published late Monday, in an apparent attempt to calm rumors that his condition was more serious than reported.
