Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated he will probably be fitted with a pacemaker tonight.

In a video assertion launched by his workplace, Mr Netanyahu stated: “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.

“I really feel nice, however I have to take heed to my docs.”

The 73-year-old will undergo the procedure at Sheba Medical Centre in Tel HaShomer, his office said, and he is expected to be discharged on Sunday afternoon.

A week ago, Mr Netanyahu was rushed to hospital after suffering from a dizzy spell, due to spending the day in 40C (104F) heat.

A “preliminary evaluation” by doctors suggested he had suffered from dehydration, but later test results showed he was “in full cardiac well being”, and Mr Netanyahu’s office said he was feeling “excellent”.

Thousands march on Jerusalem

Meanwhile, tens of hundreds of protesters marched on the principle freeway into Jerusalem on Saturday night in a last-ditch present of pressure aimed toward blocking Mr Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul.

The arrival of the marchers turned town’s foremost entrance right into a sea of blue and white Israeli flags as they accomplished the final leg of a four-day, 45-mile (70km) trek from Tel Aviv to Israel’s parliament.

The marchers joined forces with tons of of different protesters and deliberate to camp outdoors the Knesset forward of an anticipated vote on Monday.

Mr Netanyahu and his far-right allies declare the overhaul is required to curb what they are saying are the extreme powers of unelected judges.

However, their critics say the plan will destroy the nation’s system of checks and balances and put it on the trail towards authoritarian rule.
