Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Times of Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent surgery to have a pacemaker implanted after experiencing heart conduction problems. The pacemaker, a small battery-powered device, helps regulate the heart's electrical activity and prevent it from beating too slowly. Netanyahu had been admitted to Sheba Medical Center after an alert from an internal cardiac monitor indicated a transient heart block. The surgery was successful, and the Prime Minister's upcoming trips to Turkey and Cyprus have been postponed.
