"In recent days, we have been reminded once again of the need for senior officials to sign a health declaration," Rachely Edri-Hulata, the director of the Movement for Freedom of Information, said. The Prime Minister is required by law to give a detailed annual report on his health and fitness. There are claims that the reports published annually on behalf of his office were insufficient.
The Prime Minister was admitted to the hospital on Saturday after feeling unwell. While official statements explained his condition as dehydration - noting the fact that Netanyahu was exposed to the sun during his visit to the Sea of Galilee a day earlier - it quickly became apparent that most of the medical information that was made public, pertained to a cardiological matter

The fact that the heads of the cardiology department at Sheba were summoned to the hospital to treat the prime minister, he was kept in hospital overnight in the cardiology ward indicates that not all relevant information may have been made available to the public and that there were gaps in the official statements leading to speculation.
Netanyahu was implanted with a cardiac monitoring device (Subcutaneous Holter) to monitor his heart rate and transfer its data remotely to physicians.
