Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was released from the hospital on Monday after an emergency heart procedure, hours after tens of thousands of supporters and opponents of his government’s judicial overhaul plan held rival rallies ahead of a key vote, APA reports citing ap.news.
Netanyahu’s sudden hospitalization for the implant of a pacemaker added another dizzying twist to an already dramatic series of events that have bitterly divided his country and are certain to shape Israel’s future. Monday’s vote in parliament is expected to approve the first major piece of legislation in the contentious plan.
Tensions over the legal plan spiked again late Sunday, as protesters waving Israeli flags blocked roads in Jerusalem, with police using water cannon to disperse them.
Netanyahu’s office and the hospital said Netanyahu had been released. Netanyahu’s doctors said Sunday the procedure had gone smoothly.
In a short video statement from the hospital, Netanyahu, 73, said he felt fine and thanked his doctors for his treatment and the public for wishing him well.
