RAMALLAH, West Bank: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was released from hospital on Monday after an eight-day stay and treatment for what officials said was a lung infection.
"Thank God I am leaving the hospital in good health and I will return to work tomorrow," the 82-year-old leader told reporters in the lobby of the hospital in the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
