Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is returning to Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem following this evening’s vote on a key budget-related law in the Knesset, a spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office confirms.

Less than two days after undergoing prostate surgery, Netanyahu left the hospital this afternoon to cast a vital vote on the so-called Trapped Profits Law, which passed 59-58.
