In his first remarks since having a pacemaker fitted overnight and after doctors revealed he’d had a potentially life-threatening “transient heart block,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu puts out a statement thanking well-wishers and doctors at Sheba Medical Center.
“As you can see, I’m doing great,” he says in a video from the hospital.
He also refers to the deliberations on the coalition’s contentious “reasonableness” bill, ahead of the expected final votes in the next day.
“We are continuing with the efforts to complete the legislation — and the effort to do so with agreement,” he says.
“In any case, I want you to know that tomorrow morning I’ll join my friends at the Knesset,” Netanyahu adds, without specifying if he’ll leave the hospital tonight or tomorrow.
