Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was evacuated on Saturday afternoon to the ER in Sheba Medical Center after he felt ill.

Later, Netanyahu published a video clip in which he explained, "Yesterday I went to the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) with my wife - in the sun, with no hat, with no water. Not a good idea."

He clarified that he felt good, and thanked everyone for their concern. Turning to the public, he added, "We are having a heat wave in this country. I ask you: Spend less time in the sun, drink more water, and may we all have a good week."

Israeli President Isaac Herzog spoke with Netanyahu and said, "I wish good health to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I spoke with him and I was happy to hear that he is doing well, and I wish him a full recovery."

Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who is one of the leaders of the anti-government protests, tweeted that the protests will take place as usual, and "when he returns, the battle against both him and his path will continue."

On Saturday afternoon, Netanyahu's son Avner was seen leaving the hospital after visiting his father.

The government meeting scheduled for Sunday will take place as planned.
