With Netanyahu out sick, Liberman leads cabinet meeting

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman leads the security cabinet meeting this afternoon due to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s illness.

Netanyahu was rushed to a Jerusalem hospital last night, where doctors diagnosed him with a viral infection.

The prime minister’s personal physician said that Netanyahu had been ill in recent weeks and his condition worsened because he had not rested enough to fully recover.

Netanyahu was released from Hadassah Ein Kerem shortly after midnight last night and ordered by doctors to rest.
