JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is recovering after undergoing hernia surgery Sunday, which was successful, a hospital spokesperson said. Netanyahu’s office said the hernia was discovered during a routine checkup, and that the prime minister was to be under full anesthesia and unconscious for the procedure. In a news briefing Sunday, Netanyahu took the time to thank people who checked in on him following his diagnosis.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close confidant who also holds the title of deputy prime minister, was to serve as acting prime minister during the operation, the prime minister's office said. The director of the surgical department, who was part of the team that operated on the prime minister, said the surgery went as expected and that Netanyahu was 'awake, recovering and talking with his family,' according to Hadar Elboim, a spokesperson for Hadassah hospital.
