A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the leader has been taken to hospital for tests following an illness.

“The prime minister is suffering from a high fever and is coughing,” a spokesman for the 68-year-old Netanyahu, said in a text message on Tuesday.

Netanyahu fell ill in mid-March and cancelled his public schedule for five consecutive days.

“The prime minister did not complete the time required in order to recover from the illness he had two weeks ago and therefore the symptoms have gotten worse,” Baker said in a text message.

Netanyahu’s illness has come at a time when he is under police investigation for corruption in three different cases.

On Monday, Netanyahu and his family were questioned by police as part of an investigation into one of the corruption cases in which the he is a prime suspect.
