Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'rushed to hospital with high fever' | Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu 'rushed to hospital with high fever' |
(35 minutes later) | |
Benjamin Netanyahu has been rushed to hospital for tests following an illness. | |
Israel's prime minister "is suffering from a high fever and is coughing," a spokesman for the 68-year-old said. | |
He was taken to a hospital in Jerusalem. | |
Mr Netanyahu's personal physician believes he had not fully recovered from an illness two weeks ago, the spokesman said. | |
Dr Tzvi Berkowitz thought his symptoms had worsened as a result. | |
He therefore decided Mr Netanyahu should undergo further tests at hospital. | |
It comes after the prime minister was questioned by Israeli police over his alleged dealings with the country's largest telecommunications company — one of three cases weighing on his political future. | |
It was the second time Mr Netanyahu had been questioned in the investigation into allegations he awarded regulatory favours to Bezeq Telecom Israel in return for favourable coverage on a news site the company's owner ownes. | |
Both Mr Netanyahu and Bezeq have denied wrongdoing. |
