National religious camp spiritual leader Rabbi Chaim Druckman is hospitalized in serious condition at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, after his condition deteriorated.
Drukman, 90, was being treated at home in Merkaz Shapira since he began to feel ill on Friday after contracting COVID, his family said.
He was already listed in serious but stable condition before this latest deterioration.
Druckman is widely seen as the spiritual leader of the politically ascendant right-wing camp, and closely advises Bezalel Smotrich, leader of the far-right Religious Zionism party.
