Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been discharged from hospital after emergency surgery to fit a pacemaker, SİA informs via BBC.
Netanyahu had been admitted to the Sheba Medical Center on Saturday night. His hospitalisation came ahead of a key vote expected in parliament on Monday on contentious plans to overhaul Israel's judiciary. Protests against the reform have swept across Israel, with many workers vowing to strike if it goes ahead.
In a video on Sunday following the surgery, Netanyahu said he was in "excellent health" and planned to be in parliament for the vote.
The vote will amount to a showdown between the hard-line religious-nationalist coalition and swathes of Israeli society. Parliament began debating the highly contested bill to limit the Supreme Court's powers on Sunday.
One by one, Israeli opposition MPs took to the floor of the parliament chamber, pleading with the government to ditch its judicial reform plans.
The last few days have seen tens of thousands of protesters march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to oppose the justice system changes, with people filling the main highway. Many protesters camped up at Sacher Park in Jerusalem, near the parliament, after the four-day protest march.
