MK Isaac Herzog hospitalized on suspicion of minor stroke
The head of the opposition was feeling unwell Friday and eventually went to the emergency room at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv; Herzog arrived on his own and is completely conscious and communicating.
Ichilov issued a statement saying MK Herzog arrived at the emergency room and underwent a series of tests raising suspicions of a minor stroke. According to a hospital spokesperson, “He feels great and is communicating with his surroundings.” However, medical staff decided to keep him overnight for observation in the department of neurology.
Shortly after being admitted, Herzog posted a message on Twitter saying: “Tonight I felt ill. I came with Michal to the medical center in Tel Aviv just to be safe. I am undergoing tests and I feel better. Thank you to all those who worried and the medical staff. Shabbat Shalom.”
Herzog’s aides said that throughout the day he was suffering from a fever and felt weak. During the evening, his fever went up and he was obliged to go to the emergency room. He was driven to the ER with his wife where he was admitted shortly thereafter.
His aides have stressed that he was fully conscious, arrived at the hospital on his feet and did not require assistance.
