Netanyahu issued a video statement hours after he was hospitalized for apparent dehydration. In the statement, Netanyahu said he had been out in the sun on Friday without a hat and without water. “Not a good idea,” he said.

“Thank God, I feel very good,” he said, thanking the medical team and the public for messages of support.

He said he had “one request" — that people drink water and act safely in the scorching summer heat.
