Netanyahu Leaves Hospital Early To Vote For ‘War Bill’
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Faced with battles on the frontlines and in politics, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu left the hospital on Tuesday against the advice of his doctors.
The Netanyahu 75-year-old statesman, who had prostate surgery on Sunday, said he wanted to ensure parliament would help fund the Jewish nation’s wars as the legislation failed to get the backing of his entire coalition.
Netanyahu left for the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, after National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, head of one of the coalition parties, said he and others in his party would oppose the bill.
In published remarks, Ben-Gvir said he wouldn’t back the law because the draft 2025 budget was a “blow to the police force.” He said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich had refused to negotiate.
Yet the Bank of Israel said it was crucial that the legislation related to undistributed profits be approved.
“The bill is expected to generate a permanent revenue stream of significant volumes, which is required to balance the increase in permanent expenses resulting from the costs of the war,” the central bank said.
Israel has faced mounting costs due to its ongoing wars, especially against Hamas in Gaza, after the group massacred some 1,200 people in Israel on October 7, 2023.
However, Netanyahu’s move to leave the hospital early to vote for the law worried doctors. His decision was over “the strenuous opposition of the doctors,” added Hadar Elboim, a spokeswoman for Hadassah Medical Center.
However, the hospital said Monday that the prime minister was “feeling well” and his condition “was improving”.
Netanyahu’s personal doctor accompanied him to the Knesset, and the premier will return to hospital after the vote, a spokesman for the prime minister pledged.
