Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived “a short time ago” at Sheba Medical Center on Saturday, according to his office.
“He is in good condition and undergoing medical evaluation,” it said.
No details were released on the nature of his condition, but Israel is in the midst of a heat wave.
Israel currently has no acting prime minister or deputy prime minister, meaning that if Benjamin Netanyahu is incapacitated, the cabinet would have to meet to choose an interim prime minister.
There is no indication at this time that Netanyahu is incapacitated.
Netanyahu, 73, is the leader of Israel’s right-wing Likud Party and has been the dominant figure in Israeli politics for nearly three decades.
In June 2021, he lost office for the first time in 12 years after his rival Naftali Bennett won a parliamentary vote to form a government.
Eighteen months later, he was once again sworn in as prime minister in a dramatic comeback, cobbling together a coalition.
During Yom Kippur in October 2022, Netanyahu fell ill while visiting a synagogue.
He was admitted to the hospital where he spent the night before being discharged.
