Seventeen-year-old Ahed Tamimi, who has become a symbol of Palestinian defiance, was released after serving an eight month sentence for slapping Israeli soldiers.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is 81, a heavy smoker and has a history of health problems. He was elected more than a decade ago, and it's not clear how he would be replaced.
During a speech, Mahmoud Abbas said that Israeli forces had "executed" a 13-year-old, but the boy whose picture he held up is alive and Israel says he and a cousin attacked an Israeli boy.
