Israel’s Netanyahu out of hospital after falling sick during Yom Kippur prayers
Israeli opposition leader and former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was released from the hospital. He had complained of feeling unwell in a synagogue during Yom Kippur prayers the night before.
A spokesperson announced this on Thursday.
The spokesman said all test results came back normal, adding that Netanyahu, 72, had fasted during the holiday.
Israel is due to elect a new parliament on November 1, and Mr Netanyahu plans to return as prime minister.
He was deposed last summer, having been in power since 2009.
Many Jewish people fast on Yom Kippur, abstaining from food and drink for 25 hours. The holiday, considered the most important in the Jewish faith, began after sunset on Tuesday and ended on Wednesday evening.
Emergencies occur every year.
According to Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service, this year, 268 people were treated after fainting, dehydrated or feeling unwell because of the fast.
