Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will undergo surgery under general anesthesia on Sunday evening. Meanwhile, Justice Minister Jariv Levin, who is also deputy prime minister, will take over, the office said.
A meeting of the war cabinet was scheduled for Sunday evening. Netanyahu has been hospitalized many times in the past due to health problems. For example, the 74-year-old had a pacemaker inserted in the summer of 2023.
This time, a so-called hernia, a tissue rupture, was discovered on Saturday during a routine examination. Parts of the intestine, organ parts or fatty tissue protrude through an opening in the abdominal wall. The most common form is an inguinal hernia.
Simple procedure
Netanyahu’s office did not provide any information about the prime minister’s tissue rupture. In general, patients can leave the hospital quickly after such surgery and return to normal physical activities after a few days or weeks.
Israeli Justice Minister Jariv Levin will take over until Netanyahu returns.
