For second time this week, Bennett hospitalized due to back pains

Yamina party chief Naftali Bennett is hospitalized at Sheba Medical Center outside Tel Aviv for the second time this week.

“The medical process he underwent is a continuation of the same treatment he underwent over the past week,” his office says in a statement quoted by Hebrew media.

It also says he has suffered from back pain since serving as a conscript in the IDF.

On Tuesday, his office said he was hospitalized after experiencing pain in his neck. Bennett addressed the Knesset on Thursday during a plenum session on the Israel-UAE normalization deal.
