Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suddenly fainted. After this, his security personnel immediately took him to the hospital for treatment. According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu is now in good condition. Netanyahu’s office said he was undergoing a medical examination. Netanyahu, 73, is being treated at Sheba Hospital near the port city of Tel Aviv.
Netanyahu was fully conscious on the way to the hospital and walked himself inside the hospital upon arrival. Tel Hashomer is close to coastal Caesarea, where Netanyahu has a private residence. Israeli media said he was at home when he reported feeling unwell. The Prime Minister was brought in a convoy from his home where he was spending the weekend.
Netanyahu, 73, is Israel’s longest serving leader. He has served multiple terms in this office for 15 years. This is his sixth term. In Israeli politics, no leader has been able to remain at the pinnacle of power for such a long time. Netanyahu is said to be in generally good health. However, in October last year, he was briefly hospitalized after feeling unwell during a prayer.
Opposition leader Yair issued a statement:
It is known that Israel is currently in the grip of severe heat and the temperature here is going up to 30 degree Celsius. At the same time, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid has issued a statement on the matter, wishing PM Netanyahu a speedy recovery and good health.
