Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that he will be fitted with a pacemaker, adding 'I feel great, but I listen to my doctors'
The procedure is scheduled to happen at Tel Hashomer Hospital, says the statement. The prime minister will be sedated during the surgery. “During the procedure, the Minister of Justice and Deputy Prime Minister Yariv Levin will take his place,” the statement added. Netanyahu, 73, earlier announced on Twitter he would be fitted with the device, which sends electrical pulses to the heart. “I want to update you on what’s going to happen,” Netanyahu said in the video.
“The doctors tell me that I will be free tomorrow afternoon already,” said the prime minister. “I will be discharged from the hospital ready to arrive at the Knesset for the vote.” The Knesset is scheduled to begin voting on a bill that would strip the Supreme Court of the power to declare government decisions “unreasonable,” removing one of the few checks on the government in a country that has no written Constitution.
