Israeli journalist Shlomi Eldar announced he was hospitalized at Assuta Hospital in Ashdod for the removal of a tumor. Eldar underwent the medical procedure and has since shared his experience, offering exceptional praise for the medical team that treated him.
This personal health development follows a tumultuous period for Eldar, stemming from a report he published alleging that UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed had warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about an impending threat before October 7. Both the Prime Minister's office and sources within the UAE issued strong denials of Eldar's report.
Shifting focus away from the controversy surrounding his previous report, Eldar revealed his recent medical procedure. In a post following his discharge, he emphasized the dedication of the hospital staff, stating, "Doctors, nurses, and support staff who try in every way to provide treatment, healing, and recovery in the best way they can."
Eldar also commended the hospital's equipment and facilities, comparing them favorably to private hospitals he had previously visited in the United States. "Assuta Ashdod is on an international level with advanced medical equipment and the most pampering hospitalization conditions one can provide to a patient (and believe me, I have already seen American private hospitals and Assuta Ashdod meets those standards, if not more)," he wrote. He concluded his remarks by likening the hospital to a "5-star hotel."
