"Israeli PM Netanyahu Hospitalized for Pacemaker Surgery Amid Judicial Crisis"

TL;DR
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was hospitalized and fitted with a pacemaker after experiencing a temporary arrhythmia. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Jerusalem to protest a planned overhaul of the Supreme Court, which has sparked months of nationwide protests. Netanyahu's coalition aims to limit the court's power, arguing it has become too politically interventionist, while critics fear it will lead to abuses of power. The final vote on the judicial overhaul is scheduled for Monday. The crisis has also strained relations with the US and caused divisions within Israeli society.
