Watan-Media reports indicated that the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has left the hospital after a successful hernia surgery and sent a message through his account on the X platform.
Through his X platform account, Netanyahu revealed that he underwent the operation at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem, which “became his office during the last day.”
The Israeli Prime Minister stated in a video message: “I would like to thank you, the Israeli citizens, for sending your wishes for my recovery. I am recovering and I thank you.”
It’s worth noting that Netanyahu’s statements came in the same video in which he admitted to the Israeli forces killing innocent civilians in Gaza but claimed it was “unintentional,” according to his claim.
Netanyahu thanked the medical and nursing staff at Hadassah. Professor Alon Pikarsky, who headed the team that performed the surgical operation, stated that “the condition of the Israeli Prime Minister is excellent, and we are releasing him in a state where he can continue his work.”

Wide Israeli anger against Netanyahu
On Monday, thousands of Israeli protesters gathered around Netanyahu’s residence demanding his resignation, and condemning Netanyahu’s government and the exemptions granted to ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service.
Israeli media reported that thousands of protesters left the area near the Knesset and headed towards Netanyahu’s residence.
Protest groups organized demonstrations in front of the Knesset, calling for new elections to replace the current government.
Netanyahu’s government faces widespread criticism for its security failure regarding Hamas’ attack on southern Israel.
