Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left the hospital on Sunday, where he was taken on Saturday on the advice of doctors, because he felt lightheaded after spending several hours in the heat, the prime minister’s office announced.
The examinations found that the dizziness was caused by dehydration, but the general health of the 73-year-old prime minister is said to be good.
Netanyahu felt dizzy on Saturday while relaxing by Lake Kinneret, also known as the Sea of Galilee. He was taken to the Sheba Medical Center, Israel’s largest hospital, located in the Tel Aviv suburb of Ramatgan.
A video message from Netanyahu was released on Saturday evening, in which he said he had spent several hours in the hot sun without a hat and had not brought drinking water with him. Netanyahu admitted that he had not acted wisely and also urged Israelis to spend less time in the sun and drink more water.
The temperature in Israel these days exceeds 30 degrees Celsius.
