Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent a successful surgery to remove a hernia at a hospital in Tel Aviv on Sunday, as reported by CNN. The 74-year-old leader, who already has a pacemaker implanted in his heart, underwent the procedure after the hernia was diagnosed during routine checkups.

The surgery comes as Netanyahu faced physical complications, necessitating medical intervention. Law Minister Yariv Levin assumed the role of interim prime minister during Netanyahu's absence.

Following the surgery, Netanyahu expressed gratitude to well-wishers, including journalists, and assured the public of his swift recovery. He stated, "I want to assure everyone that I will recover soon and return to work. Thank you to everyone who reached out to me and wished me well."

The Israeli Prime Minister's health has been closely monitored, given his demanding role and previous medical history. Netanyahu's determination to return to his duties underscores his commitment to serving the country despite health challenges.
