Netanyahu leaves hospital after suffering dehydration during Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left hospital Sunday after being admitted the previous day for dehydration amid a heat wave in the country.

Amit Segev, the cardiology unit director at the Sheba Medical Center – where Netanyahu was treated – said the prime minister was fitted with a heart monitor during his stay.

Segev said tests had shown that Netanyahu’s heart was normal and that no heart arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat had been found.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu has completed a series of tests and is in excellent condition,” said Segev.

The Israeli leader was admitted Saturday to the hospital in Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv. A statement from his office, provided to CNN, said Netanyahu complained of “mild dizziness” before his admission.

The prime minister released a video statement later Saturday suggesting he was dehydrated and advising people to drink more water. READ MORE
