Jordan's King Abdullah left hospital on Tuesday after undergoing minor surgery, the royal palace said.

The 63-year-old monarch was admitted earlier in the day for an incisional hernia at the country's King Hussein Medical City.

He is set to resume his working schedule on Wednesday, according to the royal palace.
