Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu recovers in hospital after an emergency heart procedure while opposition to his government's contentious judicial overhaul plan mounts
Judicial overhaul plans move ahead
In a brief video statement before the implantation, Netanyahu said he"feels excellent" and planned to push forward with the judicial overhaul as soon as he was released, adding that he expected to be released in time to go to the Knesset for Monday’s vote. They released him after implanting a device to monitor his heart but he was hospitalised again Sunday because it showed anomalies, prompting the need for a pacemaker.
Further increasing pressure on the Israeli leader, military reservists in fast-rising numbers have been declaring their refusal to serve under a government taking steps that they see as setting the country on a path to dictatorship. Those moves have prompted fears that the military could be compromised.
