Abbas makes trip to Berlin for “routine” medical check

Hmmm ... that seems awfully far to travel for just a “routine” medical check. I’ve always felt he needs to be off the scene as Palestinian representative when the peace deal unfolds. What are your thoughts? Do you think he will be quickly replaced with someone who is all for the Trump peace deal? Abbas makes trip to Berlin for ‘routine’ medical check — Palestinian official The Times of Israel By Adam Rasgon 4/28/19 The President was in Berlin for routine medical checks,” the Palestinian official told The Times of Israel. “He is in good health.” The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, declined to elaborate on the types of “routine checks” the PA president underwent. The official PA news site Wafa did not publish any reports about Abbas traveling to Germany. It is rare that the government-run outlet does not issue reports on the PA president’s international travel. Abbas, a longtime smoker, has a long history of health issues, ranging from heart trouble to a battle with prostate cancer more than a decade ago. Abbas was hospitalized for over a week in Ramallah in May, with a severe ear infection that rapidly developed into pneumonia and other complications, following surgery, according to a report. He was stabilized and eventually released after nine days. In February 2018, Abbas underwent medical checks, including a biopsy, at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, according to Jibril Rajoub, the secretary-general of the Fatah Central Committee, who gave the report to Palestine TV, the official PA channel, last year. “He had a minor health problem. So he did a check. The doctors took a biopsy from him and we now know he has nothing wrong,” Rajoub said at the time. Rumors regarding Abbas’s health have been rampant, and Palestinian officials have worked to both tamp down unconfirmed reports and also to keep the president’s health issues out of the public eye. Abbas has not appointed a PA vice president or moved to create such a role. Since 2005, when Abbas was elected to a four-year term, the Palestinians also have not held PA presidential elections. -Fair use for information and discussion purposes-

Update: The building of what used to be a Palestinian presidential palace is seen after it was turned into a national library, near the West Bank city of Ramallah on August 28, 2017

Thanks for the update, Kolleen. Glad the people wised up and made waves that he had to pack up and move out.
