Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been hospitalized for intestinal inflammation after eating contaminated food and is expected to spend the next three days on bed rest. The Prime Minister’s Office announced that Netanyahu will be unable to attend scheduled criminal trial hearings this week due to his illness.
The medical center where Netanyahu is being treated, Hadassah-University Medical Center in Jerusalem, confirmed that he has been experiencing dehydration symptoms. His team will handle state matters from home while he recovers.
Netanyahu’s legal team requested that his testimony be canceled for this week, citing the prime minister’s health condition. The trial hearings are expected to resume in September when the courts return from break.
The case against Netanyahu centers on his friendship with billionaire Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan and allegations of advancing legislation favorable to his friend while in power.
