Housing Minister Yoav Gallant was released from Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital on Friday after a brief health scare.
Gallant was hospitalized Thursday night after he lost consciousness at a party event in Tel Aviv, and stayed overnight to undergo a series of medical tests. Reports in Hebrew-language media said Gallant collapsed during a speech by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
After his release, Gallant posted a message on social media saying that he fainted due to severe dehydration, but was in good health otherwise.
“Last night I briefly lost consciousness due to dehydration. After undergoing extensive tests, I am being released from the hospital and I feel great,” he tweeted.
“I want to thank the dedicated and professional hospital staff who cared for me, my many friends and all those who inquired about me.”
