Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared on Sunday that he will undergo an emergency procedure to receive a pacemaker.

A pacemaker sends electrical pulses to the heart to increase or maintain a person’s heartbeat within the normal range, to allow the heart to pump blood at a normal rate inside the body. The medical device is used when a person’s heart is beating too slowly or to treat heart failure.
