Peres released from the hospital
Former president and PM Shimon Peres is released from the hospital, where doctors have been observing him over the last few days after he suffered a heart arrhythmia.
“According to Peres’s doctors, all test results were normal,” a statement from the former president’s office says.
It was the second trip to the hospital in the last two week for Peres, 92, who suffered a minor heart attack that prevented him from traveling to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
