Benjamin Netanyahu, 73, had been on holiday at the Sea of Galilee on Friday during a heatwave, his office said. It was not immediately clear who might replace Netanyahu in the event of an emergency succession.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was admitted to hospital on Saturday with dizziness from apparent dehydration but was in good condition, his office said, and there were no indications of a potential handover of power.
The 73-year-old, who is Israel’s longest-serving leader, had been on holiday at the Sea of Galilee on Friday during a heatwave, his office’s statement said.
On Saturday, he was taken to Sheba Hospital in the town of Tel Hashomer, close to his private residence in coastal Caesarea. Israeli media said he was fully conscious en route to Sheba and that he walked into the accident and emergency department.
TV said he had suffered chest pain but there was no confirmation of that.
