It also added that the Israeli PM's blood electrolytes, kidney, liver, and blood counts are reported to be normal.Netanyahu is currently under regular cardiological supervision. The head of the Arrhythmia Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Prof. Roy Beinart, said that since Netanyahu's pacemaker implantation in July 2023, no signs of arrhythmias or any other heart-related diseases have been noticed. "The prime minister is completely stable from a cardiac perspective and does not require any treatment beyond routine follow-up, as is standard for all pacemaker patients. There are no cardiac restrictions on any activities, including physical exercise,” Beinart said, as reported by The Jerusalem Post. As per the medical reports, Netanyahu had undergone a prostate gland removal in December last year, reportedly using laser technology. The report also mentioned that Netanyahu underwent surgery to repair a right inguinal hernia in April 2024. Before the surgery, it was revealed in a full-body CT scan that the Israeli PM had an enlarged prostate, small bladder stones, and an obstructive condition in the bladder.
