Overview
- Netanyahu, who published a health report Friday, said a tiny malignant prostate spot was removed and that he now feels in excellent health.
- Doctors found the lesion during routine follow-up after a late-2024 operation for a benign enlarged prostate, and tests showed no spread of the cancer.
- He declined watchful waiting, chose targeted therapy, kept working through brief sessions, and says the spot is now gone.
- He said he postponed going public to avoid giving Iran’s leadership material for propaganda during ongoing regional tensions.
- He thanked the Hadassah Medical Center team and urged Israelis to get screened, a call that follows earlier procedures such as a 2023 pacemaker and a 2024 hernia surgery that had fueled speculation about his fitness.
