After reports emerged that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu missed this morning’s weekly cabinet meeting, his office releases a statement that he is ill and will be working from home for the next three days, APA reports citing Times of Israel.
Netanyahu began feeling sick overnight, says the Prime Minister’s Office, and was examined at his home by Dr. Alon Hershko, director of internal medicine department at Hadassah University Hospital — Ein Kerem.
Hershko diagnosed the prime minister with intestinal inflammation resulting from eating spoiled food.
Netanyahu’s condition was declared good after further testing, says his office, adding that he is receiving intravenous fluids following dehydration that resulted from the illness.
“In accordance with his doctors’ instructions, the prime minister will rest at home for the next three days and will conduct state affairs from there,” says the PMO.
