Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital says that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who underwent comprehensive medical tests on Friday, had a residual respiratory tract inflammation that was treated with appropriate medication and that he is not contagious.
“There was and is no danger of infection to people who have been near the prime minister,” the hospital says, after Prof. Hagai Levine, the doctor for the Hostage Families Forum, criticized the premier for visiting released hostages in the hospital yesterday while unwell.
