Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem on Wednesday after suffering chest pains.
On Thursday morning, the former prime minister was released and has resumed his schedule.

Shaare Tzedek’s spokesperson said that immediately upon his arrival, the former prime minister underwent an evaluation and a series of comprehensive tests, all of which came out normal.
