MK Rabbi Yisrael Eichler of United Torah Judaism (UTJ) went to the emergency room upon the instructions of the Knesset medical staff, after routine cardiac tests raised concerns about an unusual finding, according to a statement by Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center spokesperson Hadar Elboim.

The lawmaker, who is 64 years old, is currently undergoing extensive testing by the screening staff and cardiology experts.

Eichler “will be monitored and examined, and will receive further care in the hospital’s cardiology department,” Elboim said, adding, “His condition is listed as good, and stable.”
