Netanyahu Discharged from Hospital After Overnight Stay for Dehydration, Heart Activity Found to be Normal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was discharged from the Sheba Medical Center on Sunday after an overnight stay for dehydration.

According to the director of the hospital’s cardiology unit, Dr. Amit Segev, Netanyahu’s heart was “completely normal” and no arrhythmia was found. To ensure that his heart activity was monitored closely, Netanyahu was fitted with an implanted heart monitor, known as a subcutaneous Holter.

Dr. Segev said that the hospital’s diagnosis was that the reason for the hospitalization was dehydration. He added that the medical team had conducted comprehensive examinations, including an electrical test of the heart.

Netanyahu’s office said he had left the hospital around midday after stating earlier that his test results were normal and that he was feeling “very good.”

The Prime Minister’s hospitalization and subsequent discharge was met with relief from his supporters, who wished him a speedy recovery. Netanyahu’s health is of particular importance to the Israeli public, as he is currently running for re-election in the upcoming Israeli elections.
