RAMALLAH, May 21 (KUNA) -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is recovering following a health setback, a Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) official said Monday.
Saeb Erekat, PLO's Executive Committee Secretary, said in a press interview he visited Abbas in hospital and discussed referring the Jewish settlements' file to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
"President Abbas is in good health, and he will leave hospital in one or two days," he said.
Abbas was admitted to hospital yesterday. He underwent a surgery in his ear last Tuesday. (end) nq.bs
