Netanyahu Says Early Prostate Cancer Treated, Declares He Is Well

He delayed his annual health report to prevent Iran from using the news for propaganda during the war.

Overview

  • Netanyahu said on X that doctors found a tiny, very early malignant spot in his prostate that was treated and is now undetectable.
  • He said routine follow-ups after surgery for a benign prostate issue about a year and a half earlier led to the discovery.
  • According to his account, physicians offered monitoring or intervention, and he chose targeted therapy to remove the lesion.
  • He reported completing a few short treatment sessions, described as radiotherapy in one report, while continuing to work.
  • He said he asked for a two‑month delay in publishing his medical report to avoid fueling Iranian propaganda, and outlets relayed his post without independent medical documents.
