Former prime minister Naftali Bennett was admitted to the Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba after feeling unwell on Saturday, Israeli media reported on Sunday.
Bennett underwent a catheterization, according to the reports.
Wishes for speedy recovery
"The People of Israel need you," Opposition head Yair Lapid shared on X/Twitter shortly after, wishing the former prime minister a speedy recovery.
נפתלי, אח, תרגיש טוב, עם ישראל צריך אותך.

National Unity leader Benny Gantz also took to X to express a quick recovery.
מאחל החלמה מהירה ובריאות טובה לחברי נפתלי בנט.

Liukd MK Osher Shekalim wrote on X, "One wonders how someone who collapses during a workout at the age of 53 was able to manage seven war fronts simultaneously."
"It is only appropriate that he disclose his medical file as required," he added.
Likud MK Dan Illouz wrote on X, "Even when there are deep ideological differences, public discourse must remain respectful. Love for Israel, not hatred of our opponents, should guide us."
In early April, Bennett registered a new political party under the name Bennett 2026, over two years after leaving politics.
This is a developing story.
