Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will undergo surgery on March 31 for a hernia his doctors have discovered, a statement from his office said.
The Prime Minister will be fully sedated after his doctors discovered the hernia “during a routine examination”.
“During this time, Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin will serve as acting Prime Minister,” the statement said.
Last year, the 74-year-old underwent surgery to have a pacemaker implanted.
