Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months ago and delayed the release of his annual health report for two months so that Iran could not use it for propaganda purposes.
He says in a post on social media that he underwent an operation in December where the lesion was removed and radiation therapy followed.

I asked him to delay his publication for two months so that it would not be published at the height of the war in order not to allow the regime of terror in Iran to spread more teamulat כזב against Israel.
I would like to share with you three things:
1 – ברוך השם, I am healthy.
2 – I’m in great shape.
3 – I had a problem…

He requested a delay in the release of the prime minister’s annual health report by two months to “prevent the terrorist regime in Iran from spreading further false propaganda against Israel.” He began radiation therapy for the lesion around the time the Israeli and American attacks on Israel began.
“Thank God I’m in good health. I’m in great shape. I had a minor health issue with my prostate that has been fully treated,” he said in his post.
