Ever since he had a pacemaker installed following a transient heart block last year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s motorcade has included an ambulance, according to a report in the Walla news site.
The report says that the vehicle is not identifiable from the outside as an ambulance.
The news outlet cites sources in the Prime Minister’s Office confirming that the vehicle is an ambulance, but claiming that it only accompanies the prime minister on journeys to areas of Israel which are far from hospitals. However, the news outlet claims the vehicle has been seen traveling inside Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, areas with many hospitals.
