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 today 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.
