Netanyahu revealed that he was being treated for prostate cancer, which was discovered during a routine check-up some time after the 2024 election. in december he had surgery for a benign prostate enlargement.
After his annual medical report was released, Israel’s prime minister said he was in “excellent physical condition” after successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate.
In a statement on the social network, he said that he chose the treatment because “when I receive timely information about a possible danger, I want to respond to it immediately.”
The treatment “removed the problem and left no trace of it,” he added.
Netanyahu said he delayed the release of the medical report for two months to prevent Iran from spreading “false propaganda against Israel.”
In March, amid the fighting with Iran, social media rumors, broadcast by Iranian state media, said Netanyahu had died.

Director of the Charett Oncology Institute of the Jerusalem Hadassah Medical Center, where the Prime Minister of Israel was treated, Prof. Aron Popovtzer provided more information, according to The Times of Israel.
His video statement said the tumor was discovered “several months ago”, Netanyahu underwent radiation therapy “two and a half months ago” and check-ups “two and a half months later” – apparently recently, according to the doctor’s timing – showed that the “disease was gone”.
