                  Israel's Shimon Peres Released From Hospital

   by Associated Press

   A spokeswoman for Israel's former President Shimon Peres says he has
   left hospital after he was rushed to the emergency room for the second
   time in two weeks.

   The 92-year-old Peres was taken to Tel Hashomer hospital on Sunday
   night with chest pains, days after he suffered a mild heart attack.
   After doctors detected an irregular heart rate, Peres was monitored in
   hospital as a precaution.

   Spokeswoman Ayelet Frisch said on Tuesday that "all the tests are
   normal and he feels wonderful."

   Peres, a Noble Peace Prize laureate, completed his seven-year term as
   president in 2014. He remains active through his non-governmental Peres
   Center for Peace, which promotes coexistence between Arabs and Jews.

   In his seven-decade political career, Peres also served three brief
   stints as prime minister.
