Israel's prime minister Netanyahu undergoes pacemaker implantation surgery ahead of Parliament vote on controversial judicial reforms

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday underwent a successful pacemaker implantation procedure, a surgery scheduled just days before the Knesset is set to vote on a controversial judicial reform bill that has paralysed the whole country.
Last week, Netanyahu, 73, was hospitalised from Saturday to Sunday after he complained of dizziness following a trip Friday to the Sea of Galilee, where he acknowledged spending several hours in the sun and in scorching heat “without a hat, without water.” Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan then said that the doctors had completed a series of examinations and found that the Prime Minister's heart “is completely normal,” and that “at no point was any heart arrhythmia found”.
