The decision for surgery came after doctors discovered a hernia during a routine examination on Saturday, as announced by Netanyahu’s office. The Prime Minister, aged 74, underwent the procedure under complete anesthesia.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Yariv Levin temporarily assumed Netanyahu’s duties during his hospitalization. Addressing reporters in a press conference on Sunday, Netanyahu expressed confidence in a successful recovery, stating, “I assure you that I will get through this treatment successfully and return to action very quickly.”

This surgery marks Netanyahu’s second hernia operation, with the previous one performed in 2013 for an umbilical hernia. The Mayo Clinic explains that a hernia occurs when tissue, such as part of the intestine, protrudes through a weakened area in the abdominal muscles.

Netanyahu also underwent surgery earlier in July, during which he received a pacemaker. The Prime Minister’s medical procedures highlight the importance of timely health interventions, ensuring that leaders maintain optimal health while fulfilling their duties to the nation.
