Ex-minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer hospitalized

Ex-defense minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer is hospitalized after feeling ill, Channel 2 reports.

Ben-Eliezer, a former Labor Party leader and presidential candidate, has suffered from various health issues for a number of years, and in December 2014 underwent a kidney transplant. Several months later, he was hospitalized with a serious case of influenza, at which time he was hooked up to life support until his condition improved.

He was indicted in absentia in February at the Tel Aviv District Court on a slew of graft charges.
