Report: Netanyahu, hospital concealed he felt dizzy, had life-threatening arrhythmia last night

For the second time in a week, Channel 13 news reports that the publicly available version of events regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hospitalization is concealing crucial details.

Netanyahu got a pacemaker last night, with the premier saying that a heart monitor implanted a week earlier had beeped and prompted him to go to the hospital again.

But according to the report, in fact it was Netanyahu who activated the device to warn his doctors when he felt dizzy, with his doctors fearing his life was in danger.

For 12 seconds, Netanyahu suffered from heart arrhythmia, leading his doctors to believe his life was in immediate danger and leading to the urgent implanting of the cardiac pacing device, Channel 13 reports.

A week ago, after Netanyahu’s first hospitalization, the network reported that he had fainted at home and that doctors considered fitting him with a pacemaker after heart irregularities were observed. That report, not confirmed at the time, proved to be accurate today, with the premier indeed getting a pacemaker implanted and Sheba doctors confirming the other details.
