Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will undergo surgery for a hernia tonight after the meeting of the war cabinet, his office announces. Netanyahu will be under full anesthesia during the operation. The hernia was discovered during a routine checkup last night. Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who is also deputy prime minister, will fill Netanyahu's role temporarily.
He's quite unpopular with the recent Haredi draft legislation. Perfect timing to disappear, in fact.
