After leaving Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanks the public and the doctors who performed his prostate removal surgery.
“I would like to thank the many, many of you, citizens of Israel, for the prayers, encouragement, and support that have deeply moved me and my family,” he writes on X.
He thanks by name Hadassah Medical Center CEO Yoram Weiss and his staff; Shamir Assaf Harofeh Hospital doctors Ofer Gofrit, Mordechai Duvdevani, Stefan Ladot, Yuval Meroz, Ofer Amir, and Ehud Gansin; his personal physician Zvika Berkowitz; and “all the doctors, nurses, and medical staff who went above and beyond.”
“A huge thanks,” he concludes, adding a heart emoji.
