Israeli PM Netanyahu Undergoes Heart Procedure, Placed Under Sedation
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent surgery to have a pacemaker fitted after experiencing a "transient heart block." The procedure took place just before the Knesset is set to vote on a controversial judicial reform bill. Netanyahu's operation went well, and he is feeling fine. The bill aims to strip the Supreme Court of the power to declare government decisions "unreasonable," sparking widespread protests in Israel.
