Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent surgery for a pacemaker implantation following recent health concerns. The announcement was made in a Twitter video over the weekend, just before a Knesset vote on Israeli judicial reform. In the video, Netanyahu revealed that a monitoring device fitted to him a week ago had alerted him of the urgent need for a pacemaker implantation.

“I feel great, but I need to listen to my doctors,” Netanyahu said in the video, reassuring the public about his condition. He emphasized the importance of following medical advice to ensure his well-being and ability to effectively fulfill his Prime Minister duties.

The pacemaker implantation procedure took place at the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, and according to updates from his surgeons, it was successfully completed. As of 4 a.m. on Sunday, the Prime Minister is under observation in the cardiology department. This device, once implanted, will send electric pulses to regulate Netanyahu’s heart rate and rhythm, providing the necessary stimulation to the heart chambers.

Reports indicate that Netanyahu’s EKG tests have shown heart irregularities for several years, suggesting that this surgical intervention was an essential step to address potential cardiac issues and ensure his overall health and well-being.

Due to the nature of the procedure and the required follow-up care, the Prime Minister’s Office has postponed Netanyahu’s planned visits to Turkey and Cyprus, which were originally scheduled for later this week. The visits are expected to be rescheduled for September to allow him sufficient time to recover and receive the necessary post-surgery care.

The weekly Cabinet meeting, which typically takes place on Sunday morning, has also been postponed and is now scheduled for Monday. The Prime Minister’s health remains a priority, and this decision reflects the government’s commitment to allowing Netanyahu the time and space to recuperate fully.

The entire nation joins in wishing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a swift and smooth recovery. As the country’s leader, his health and well-being are of utmost importance. During this period, the government will continue to function, and essential matters of state will be handled by the relevant officials.
