JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will undergo surgery to implant a pacemaker, his office said early Sunday, just days after he was released from hospital following health concerns.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu will undergo a pacemaker implantation procedure this evening at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer,” the statement said.
“The procedure will take place under a session, during which he will be represented by the Minister of Justice and Deputy Prime Minister Yariv Lenin,” it added.
A week ago, Netanyahu, 73, was released from the same medical center after spending a night in hospital after complaining of dizziness.
At the time, as part of cardiology tests, the center decided to use a Holter monitor to monitor his heart rhythm, Sheba’s senior cardiology professor Amit Segev said last week.
