As reported by Vesty.co.il, the head of the Israeli government, Benjamin Netanyahu, is currently undergoing a planned medical examination in the hospital.
Due to the fact that Gastrocolonoscopy is conducted under sedation, the Minister of Culture and Sports Mary Regev was charged with performing the duties of the Prime Minister for this time.
Sedation is a modern method of anesthesia, in which the patient is half asleep. In Israel, many unpleasant and painful medical manipulations are carried out under this kind of anesthesia.
From the office of the head of the government reported that the whole procedure will take about half an hour, it is such a time Miri Regev and will occupy the premiership.
Accompany Netanyahu during the survey will be his personal physician Zvi Herman Berkovich.
Six months ago, Benjamin Netanyahu passed exactly the same procedure, then his duties were performed by Zeev Elkin.
In December 2015, during a survey at the Shaarei Tzedek hospital, a benign polyp was discovered and removed from the prime minister. This made it necessary to periodically repeat this procedure.
 Prior to this, also in 2015, Netanyahu underwent a prostate examination at the Bnei Brak hospital. These checks were conducted secretly. For the first time the premiere was taken to the hospital by car to drive bread, and the second time - to the car of the company for pest control; his bodyguards were disguised as workers of the firm.
During the medical examination in August 2013, the authority of the prime minister was entrusted to Moshe Yaalon, and in January 2014 to Avigdor Lieberman.
