Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is discharged from the hospital, according to his office.
Netanyahu underwent prostate removal surgery on Sunday, then two days later left the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital to cast a decisive vote on a budget law to ensure the legislation was approved. He then returned to the medical center.
Netanyahu’s doctors state upon his release that his condition is stable and he is recovering satisfactorily from the surgery. He still faces a recovery period and medical follow-up.
Upon his discharge, Netanyahu expressed his deep gratitude to the specialists at Hadassah, the entire staff, the expert from Assaf Harofeh, and his personal physician, Dr. Zvika Berkowitz, who cared for him with dedication, the hospital says.
