Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan today, according to the Prime Minister’s Office, in order to review preparations for receiving hostages from Gaza after they are returned to Israel early next week.
Netanyahu toured the facility, the PMO said, and “praised the medical teams for their readiness to welcome the hostages and their families.”
He was accompanied by several other top officials, including the government’s hostage pointman Gal Hirsch, Netanyahu’s chief of staff Tzachi Braverman and the premier’s Military Secretary Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman.
