Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left a Jerusalem hospital just two days after prostate removal surgery to assist his party in passing a contentious budget law. Despite his doctor's advice, Netanyahu returned to the hospital after successfully navigating a parliamentary crisis at the Knesset, Israel's parliament.
Netanyahu's presence was crucial in securing the passage of a bill regulating dividend distribution and tax payments by Israeli companies. The bill narrowly passed by one vote following disagreements within Netanyahu's government, particularly involving Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
