"Israeli PM Netanyahu Undergoes Pacemaker Surgery Amidst Political Turmoil"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent successful surgery to be fitted with a pacemaker at Sheba Medical Center, just before crucial Knesset votes on the government's controversial judicial overhaul bill. Netanyahu had previously been hospitalized for dehydration and had a heart monitoring device implanted. The pacemaker surgery was completed without complications, and Netanyahu is expected to be discharged on Sunday. The prime minister's health issues come amidst rising criticism over the lack of transparency regarding his medical condition. The judicial overhaul bill, which has drawn intense opposition, is part of Netanyahu's plans to overhaul the judiciary and has strained his ties with the US. Netanyahu is also facing a corruption trial and denies all allegations.
