Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was rushed to a Tel Aviv hospital Saturday after fainting at home, according to multiple reports.
The 73-year-old conservative — Israel’s longest-serving leader — was in “good condition” as he underwent a series of tests, his office said.
The prime minister had passed out while at home in Cesarea and hit his head after complaining about chest pain, sources at Sheba Medical Center told the Jerusalem Post.
Netanyahu was fully conscious when he arrived at the emergency room, they said — but doctors will perform a brain scan and evaluate his heart rhythm to check for further injury.
Bibi’s son Avner accompanied him to the hospital and his wife Sara is expected to join them there.
Opposition leader Yair Lapid quickly offered a message of support, tweeting wishes for “a full recovery and good health” in Hebrew.
“Feel better,” he added.
