Following a brief hospitalization for dehydration, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been discharged and is reportedly in excellent condition. He was admitted to Sheba Medical Center on Saturday after experiencing dizziness, attributed to spending time in the sun without adequate hydration during a family outing to the Sea of Galilee.
Netanyahu acknowledged his oversight, stating, "Yesterday, I spent the day with my wife in the Sea of Galilee, in the sun, without a hat, with no water. It's not a good idea." Temperatures at the time reached 38 Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit). Medical professionals confirmed his heart is functioning normally and fitted him with a heart monitor as a precautionary measure.
Upon his release, Netanyahu urged the public to take precautions during the ongoing heatwave, advising them to limit sun exposure and stay hydrated. He thanked the medical staff for their care and reassured the nation of his well-being.
His hospitalization coincided with ongoing protests against judicial overhaul proposals. Opposition leader and former Prime Minister Yair Lapid extended his wishes for Netanyahu's swift recovery.
