On Saturday, he was taken to Sheba Hospital in the town of Tel Hashomer, close to his private residence in coastal Caesarea.
When then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was felled by a stroke in 2006, he was succeeded by his deputy, Ehud Olmert.
"I wish the prime minister a full recovery and good health," tweeted Yair Lapid, the centrist leader of the opposition.
In early October, Netanyahu took ill during the Jewish fast of Yom Kippur and was also briefly hospitalised.
