Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital “exhausted” last night, a source familiar with the matter says.

The premier had left his hospital bed after prostate removal surgery, against the advice of his doctors, to cast a decisive vote on a budget law to ensure the legislation was approved.

Netanyahu will not be released from the hospital today.
