Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been fitted with a pacemaker in a surgery that took place in the early hours of Sunday at the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan. In a video message before the operation, the premier said, on Monday he would attend a key judicial reform vote that has intensified the nationwide protests.
“The operation finished smoothly without any issues and Netanyahu was in good condition,” said the Times of Israel in a report while quoting the hospital. During the surgery that required Netanyahu to be sedated, Justice Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Yariv Levin served as the interim prime minister.
