JERUSALEM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was discharged from hospital in Jerusalem on Tuesday after being admitted with a case of "high fever", his office said.
The 68-year-old premier, who underwent tests in the Hadassah hospital, was also suffering from a "cough", the office said in a statement.
He was able to return to his residence in Jerusalem after the examinations "which revealed a benign viral disease of the airways".
"The doctors recommended him to rest and undergo medical treatment," his office said in a statement, without giving details.
An earlier statement said Netanyahu's personal physician, Zvi Herman Berkowitz, believed he had not rested enough following an illness contracted two weeks ago, causing his symptoms to worsen.
