Jerusalem CNN —Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in hospital for medical evaluation but is in a “good condition,” his office said. Netanyahu was admitted Saturday to the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, a suburb of Tel Aviv, according to his office. Israel currently does not have an acting or deputy prime minister, meaning that if Benjamin Netanyahu is incapacitated, the cabinet would have to meet to elect an acting prime minister. Eighteen months later, he was once again sworn in as prime minister in a dramatic return, cobbling together a coalition. He was admitted to hospital where he stayed overnight before being released.
