Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that he was feeling well after being hospitalized for dizziness.
Earlier this evening, Netanyahu was taken to the Sheba medical center in "Tel Aviv" to undergo tests and receive medical treatment.
According to his political bureau, Netanyahu is reported to be in "good condition and undergoing medical evaluations".
His office added that Netanyahu had on Friday spent some time in the Tabarayya Lake, where temperatures were high.

"Today, he felt slightly dizzy, and at the advice of his personal physician, Dr. Zvi Berkowitz, was taken to Sheba's emergency department," another statement said.
"The initial examinations showed normal findings," it added. "The initial evaluation is dehydration."
In a video recording released on Twitter, Netanyahu said he spent time on the lake with his wife "in the sun, without a hat, without water".
His office later said he was "staying in hospital overnight for observation, upon his doctors' recommendation."
The weekly cabinet meeting was postponed from Sunday to Monday.
Earlier, Israeli media reported that as protests continue to roam the Israeli occupation over the government's plans to pass a judicial overhaul that would limit the powers of the Supreme Court, 170 reservists in the occupation army's top special forces unit, Sayeret Matkal, announced that they would no longer show up for service.
This comes as Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition is now pushing a bill intended at barring judges from dismissing or debating government and ministerial actions based on their "reasonableness". The coalition hopes to have the bill signed into law by the end of the month.
In the same context, Israeli Channel 13 leaked a few days ago a recording of the occupation Prime Minister rebuking reservists, who subsequently accused him of jeopardizing "Israel's" security.
