Netanyahu Reveals Prostate Cancer Diagnosis, Shares Annual Medical Results
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he has been undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, simultaneously releasing the results of his annual medical examination. The 76-year-old leader disclosed that he was diagnosed with the cancer for the first time during the examination, prompting a delay in the publication of the report for two months. Netanyahu stated his primary concern was to prevent the information from being utilized as propaganda by Iran.
Following surgery in December 2024, which the Prime Minister’s Office previously confirmed, a final check revealed a tumor in his prostate measuring less than one centimeter in size. This marks the first time Netanyahu has publicly addressed a serious health condition. The announcement comes as Netanyahu holds the longest continuous mandate in Israeli history.
Medical professionals determined a course of treatment, the specifics of which have not been disclosed. The results of the examination confirm the initial diagnosis of cancer. The Prime Minister’s disclosure offers transparency regarding his health while addressing concerns about potential external manipulation.
