Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Friday that he received successful treatment for early-stage prostate cancer, though he did not specify when the treatment took place. In a social media statement coinciding with the release of his annual medical report, Netanyahu, 76, shared that a malignant tumor was discovered during a routine checkup. He stated that targeted treatment had effectively addressed the issue, leaving no trace of the tumor.
The medical report confirmed that Netanyahu was in good health overall and had undergone radiation therapy for his early-stage prostate cancer. Neither the report nor Netanyahu disclosed the exact timing of the treatment. The Israeli leader explained that he delayed publishing the medical report for two months to prevent Iran from spreading false propaganda against Israel. In March, amid ongoing conflicts involving Iran, rumors circulated on social media and Iranian state media claiming Netanyahu had died. To counteract this, he released a video visiting a Jerusalem café to deny those claims.
In 2024, Netanyahu underwent prostate surgery after being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection caused by benign prostate enlargement. The year prior, he received a pacemaker. Upcoming elections in Israel are scheduled for October.
