Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been hospitalized on an emergency basis. He is already suffering from several health problems.

This year, his hernia was removed and the year before that, a pacemaker was installed due to a heart condition.

This time, Netanyahu has been hospitalized for prostate removal. He was recently diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. Now he is preparing for this treatment. The surgery will be performed.

Earlier, on July 15, 2022, Netanyahu was hospitalized with dizziness. The Israeli Prime Minister’s office reported that he was suffering from dehydration. However, his physical condition was stable.

Background of the Gaza crisis

Meanwhile, Netanyahu’s surgery is taking place at a time when thousands of Palestinian patients and injured people are dying due to the war he is waging in Gaza, deprived of emergency medical care.

The Gaza Health Ministry warned on Saturday that patients were being pushed to the brink of death due to a lack of water, electricity, food and medical equipment in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

Earlier on Friday, Israeli forces detained Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, and set the hospital on fire. This situation has made it even more difficult for Palestinians to receive medical care.

Both Netanyahu’s surgery and the situation in Gaza are highlighting Israel’s current political and humanitarian crisis.
