Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas entered a West Bank hospital for minor ear surgery today, the Wafa news agency reported.
According to the agency, Abbas is due to be released in several hours.
In February, Abbas was hospitalized in the United States for medical checks during a trip to address the U.N. Security Council in New York. In October 2016, he was taken to hospital in the West Bank without prior public announcement for heart function tests which, a doctor said, showed normal results, Reuters recalls.
