Iranian regime: Crisis in Israel's heart deeper than crisis in Netanyahu's heart'

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani reacted to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's receiving of a pacemaker last night and linked the prime minister's medical condition to the controversy surrounding the government's planned judicial reforms.

"It is reported in the news that the doctors used a pacemaker on the heart of the prime minister of the Zionist occupation regime," Kanaani wrote. "But it is clear that the crisis in the heart of the Zionist regime is deeper than the crisis in the heart of its prime minister."

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent a procedure to implant a pacemaker at Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer overnight Saturday.

The procedure was successfully completed. Sheba Medical Center said, "His medical condition is good, and he will remain in the cardiology department for observation."

Netanyahu's operation comes as the Knesset is debating the 'reasonableness standard bill' ahead of the expected passing of the bill tomorrow.
