Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been released from the hospital after having a pacemaker implant this morning. He is 73 years old and otherwise in good health.

Last week the Prime Minister fainted due to heat and dehydration. However, it appeared that there was a more serious issue so he wore a Holter heart monitor and was released from the hospital. That heart monitor indicated irregularities and a pacemaker was implanted.

After released from the hospital, of course he was told to rest for at least 48 hours. However, he actually intended to return to the Knesset later that afternoon for the crucial vote on the “Reasonable Standard Bill” which has been the center of political controversy with protests all over Israel for several months.

 After being released from the hospital, the Prime Minister said he was “doing excellently”.

Please pray for Benjamin Netanyahu’s healing.
