Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was rushed on Saturday to a hospital to endure medical assessments, his workplace mentioned in a press release.

Mr. Netanyahu arrived on Saturday afternoon on the Sheba Medical Center, a number one hospital close to Tel Aviv, and remained “in good condition and undergoing medical evaluation,” the assertion learn. “We will update later.”

A spokesman for the medical middle didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.

Mr. Netanyahu, 73, was briefly hospitalized in October, after feeling ache in his chest within the weeks earlier than final 12 months’s election. He was filmed jogging the subsequent morning.

Mr. Netanyahu is Israel’s longest-serving prime minister and is at the moment going through one of the crucial difficult intervals of his political profession. The prime minister is on trial for corruption, and his coalition — essentially the most right-wing in Israel’s historical past — has set off a political disaster by advancing plans to restrict judicial oversight of the federal government.

The plan has set off a monthslong wave of political protest in Israel, deepened longstanding social divides, drawn robust criticism from the Biden administration and prompted widespread fears of civil struggle.

If Mr. Netanyahu proceeds with the plan, he dangers frightening a basic strike, in addition to mass resignations from army reservists, who kind a key a part of Israel’s army capability. If he suspends the plan, he dangers angering his political allies and collapsing his coalition.
