Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was evacuated to Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer on Shabbos afternoon after experiencing dizziness. A joint statement from the Prime Minister’s Office and the Sheba Medical Center on Motzei Shabbos said that the Prime Minister spent time at the Kinneret on Friday in the heat. “Today he complained of mild dizziness, received initial treatment from a paramedic of the Shin Bet’s Personal Security Unit, and after consulting with his personal doctor arrived at the hospital. The initial tests came out normal and no abnormal findings were found. The assessment is that it is dehydration and we are now waiting for further results.” The Prime Minister’s personal doctor, Prof. Tzvi Berkovich, arrived at the hospital and told the press that the prime minister’s condition is “good and stable.” Also, the Prime Minister walked from his vehicle to the emergency room and is fully conscious. The Prime Minister’s wife Sara and his son Avner are with him. It was later reported that on the recommendation of his doctors, Netanyahu will be hospitalized overnight. The weekly Cabinet meeting has been postponed to Monday. Some media outlets reported that Netanyahu was hospitalized in the cardiac department. Netanyahu posted a video from the hospital saying that he feels “very good now” and warning Israelis to avoid the sun and drink more water during the heatwave.
