JERUSALEM, July 23 — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that he was “in excellent health” after getting fitted with a pacemaker in hospital and planned to be in parliament in time for a ratification vote on a key judicial reform.

“We are pursuing efforts to complete the legislation, as well as efforts to do this through consensus, but in any event I want you to know that tomorrow morning I’ll be joining my colleagues in the Knesset,” he said in a video statement. — Reuters
