Benjamin Netanyahu hopes for direct flights from Tel Aviv to Mumbai over Saudi airspace

The Prime Minister's personal physician, Dr. Berkowitz, stated that he does not believe that Netanyahu had gotten the rest he required to recover from an illness he suffered two weeks ago, and that his symptoms had consequently worsened.

Israeli police on Monday questioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as his wife and son, in a corruption case involving the country's telecom giant, one of a slew of scandals that have engulfed the long-ruling Israeli leader.

Because there is no vice prime minister, there must be a vote to declare a temporary prime minister if Netanyahu undergoes tests that require sedation. "The tests showed a mild viral illness in the upper respiratory tract", a statement from the Israeli prime minister's office said later on Tuesday.

The Haaretz newspaper said he will deliver recordings of the prime minister and his wife as part of the agreement.

Doctors recommended that Netanyahu rest and take medication by way of continued treatment. "I am on my way home", Netanyahu tweeted as he was discharged from the hospital.

"Thank you to all for your concerns!"
