JERUSALEM —
Former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, hospitalized for fatigue last week, is regaining strength and will be released within the next few days.

“He is in very good health,” a hospital spokeswoman said, adding that Begin was hospitalized because of weakness attributed to a loss of sodium.
