Netanyahu Says Early Prostate Cancer Was Treated, Declares Excellent Health

The disclosure follows a two-month hold on his annual medical report to prevent what he said would be Iranian propaganda use.

Overview

  • Benjamin Netanyahu disclosed Friday in his annual medical report and a post on X that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer about a year and a half ago and now says he is cancer-free.
  • Doctors found a lesion under one centimeter during routine follow-up after surgery for a benign enlarged prostate in late 2024, and tests identified it as a very early malignant tumor without metastases.
  • He said he chose a targeted treatment that removed the tumor without a trace, and he described his current condition as excellent.
  • Netanyahu asked to delay the report’s publication by two months to avoid releasing it during active fighting with Iran, which he argued could help Tehran’s propaganda efforts.
  • Le Parisien reported that care was provided by Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, and coverage notes the update comes from his official report and statements, with no independent medical confirmation cited.
