National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi underwent a successful medical procedure that required hospitalization, the National Security Council announces.
The NSC did not announce the procedure ahead of time.
The diagnosis was made “a few weeks ago,” the statement says.
Hanegbi was intermittently hospitalized for treatment during that time.
His deputy, Gil Reich, filled in for him, according to the announcement.
The NSC says Hanegbi is expected to be released from the hospital soon, and eventually to return to full functioning.
Hanegbi returned early from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s July trip to the US, on a commercial flight, but it is unclear whether that was related to his medical treatment.
