El primer ministro israelí Benjamin Netanyahu se le implantó con éxito un marcapasos el domingo por la mañana en medio de sus recientes problemas de salud, informó su oficina.
"The procedure is over. The PM feels fine, he will stay for a few hours at the hospital and will be discharged later today," Netanyahu's office and the Sheba Medical Center said in a joint statement, adding that cabinet meeting that had been set for Sunday was pushed off.
La operación de Netanyahu se anunció por primera vez en un vídeo de Twitter a primera hora de la mañana del domingo.
"A week ago I was fitted with a monitoring device. That device beeped this evening and said I must have a pacemaker and that I must do this already tonight," the 73-year-old Netanyahu said in the video. "I feel great, but I need to listen to my doctors."

Pacemakers send electric pulses to chambers of the heart in order to regulate one's heart beat rate and rhythm, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
La Radiotelevisión Pública Israelí (KAN) informó de que las declaraciones de Netanyahu, que estaban en hebreo, se hicieron antes de una votación en la Knesset sobre la controvertida reforma judicial israelí.
"The attempts to reach a broad agreement continue even now," KAN quoted him as saying.
Last week, Netanyahu was released from a hospital after experiencing severe hydration. The prime minister was given a heart monitor in his chest.
Netanyahu said that he was at the Sea of Galilee without water or sun protection when he fell ill last weekend. Israel was undergoing a heat wave, with temperatures hitting 38 degrees Celsius or 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

"On the recommendation of the doctors, the prime minister continues to undergo additional routine tests," the prime minister's office previously said in a statement.
Netanyahu se ha enfrentado recientemente a las críticas de los israelíes por su propuesta de reforma judicial. El viernes, un grupo de más de 1.100 pilotos y tripulantes de las fuerzas aéreas israelíes dijeron que suspenderían su servicio de reserva voluntario si se aprobaba la reforma.

"Legislation that enables the government to act in such an extremely unreasonable way would hurt the security of the State of Israel, would lead to a deep mistrust and jeopardize my ability to continue and risk my life - therefore, with great sadness, and without any other options, I am suspending my voluntary reserve duty," the letter read.
