Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to undergo surgery for pacemaker implantation after health scareFox News, Jul 22, 2023
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have a pacemaker implanted Sunday morning amid recent health problems, according to Israeli reports.
The surgery was announced in a Twitter video early Sunday morning. The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) reported that Netanyahu's statements, which were in Hebrew, were made before a vote in the Knesset about controversial Israeli judicial reform.
"The attempts to reach a broad agreement continue even now," KAN quoted him as saying.
Pacemakers send electric pulses to chambers of the heart in order to regulate one's heart beat rate and rhythm, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"A week ago I was fitted with a monitoring device. That device beeped this evening and said I must have a pacemaker and that I must do this already tonight," the 73-year-old Netanyahu said in the video. "I feel great, but I need to listen to my doctors."
