Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was examined at his residence overnight after feeling unwell and was found to be suffering from an intestinal infection caused by spoiled food, the Prime Minister's Office said Sunday.
The examination was conducted by Professor Alon Hershko, head of internal medicine at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. Following further tests, Netanyahu's condition was defined as good, and he is currently receiving intravenous fluids to treat dehydration resulting from the illness.
In accordance with his doctors' instructions, the prime minister will rest at home for the next three days and continue to manage state affairs from there.
In late December, Netanyahu underwent successful prostate surgery at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center, which led to the postponement of one of the hearings in his ongoing trial at the time.
