Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been diagnosed with enteritis caused by food poisoning and is expected to rest at home for three days, his office said Sunday.

Netanyahu became ill overnight and was examined by a doctor at his residence. He had been scheduled to appear in court Monday and Tuesday for questioning in his ongoing corruption trial but has requested a postponement due to his condition.

He is reportedly stable and will continue working from home.
