Israel’s Netanyahu discharged from hospital

Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was discharged from hospital on
Sunday after being admitted the previous day for dehydration,
with doctors, who implanted a heart monitor, saying he was in
good health.
Netanyahu, 73, was taken on Saturday to Sheba Hospital in
Tel Hashomer, near his private residence in coastal Caesarea,
and kept overnight under observation.
His motor convoy was seen departing Sheba as Israeli media
quoted his office as saying he had been discharged.
In a video statement on Saturday, a smiling and
blazer-wearing Netanyahu said he had holidayed at the Sea of
Galilee without properly protecting himself from a heatwave.
Sheba on Sunday confirmed its original diagnosis of
dehydration and said additional tests involving a subcutaneous
holter had found Netanyahu to be “in complete cardiac health”.
The device, which is placed under the skin, will allow
Netanyahu’s medical team “to continue regular monitoring”,
according to the hospital statement.
Israel’s weekly cabinet meeting, usually held on Sunday, has
been postponed to Monday, his office said.
