The leader of Israel's main opposition party, Likud, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was taken to the hospital earlier in the evening, has been discharged, his press office said.

Former Prime Minister Netanyahu was discharged a few minutes ago from Shaare Zedek Medical Center after the results of all the tests he underwent were completely normal. Netanyahu has returned to full activity, the report said.

Last night it was reported that Netanyahu was taken to a hospital in Jerusalem. The former prime minister was being checked at a Jerusalem hospital after he felt unwell during Yom Kippur prayers. Local media noted that Netanyahu, like other Jews, kept a daily fast.

Netanyahu led the Israeli government until 2021, and again, according to opinion polls, is considered one of the main contenders for prime minister after the special parliamentary elections scheduled for November 1.
