Netanyahu suffers food poisoning

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suffered from a bout of food poisoning, reports Reuters.

"In accordance with his doctors' instructions, the prime minister will rest at home for the next three days and will manage state affairs from there," his office said on Sunday (20).

Netanyahu, 75, fell ill overnight and was found to be suffering from intestinal inflammation and dehydration, for which he is receiving intravenous fluids, a statement said.

Netanyahu was fitted with a pacemaker in 2023 and last December he had his prostate removed after he was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection.
