Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed Friday that while fighting Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, he has also been fighting another deadly enemy — cancer.
Netanyahu revealed that as of recently, he is cancer-free, without explaining when he was treated for a malignant prostate tumor, which was initially discovered some time after December 2024, according toThe Times of Israel.
Netanyahu, 76, also released his annual health assessment, which rated his health as normal.
A report onCNNcited an Israeli source who said Netanyahu’s cancer was diagnosed “several months ago.”
The report said Netanyahu began radiation therapy about two and a half months ago, and recently finished his course of treatment.
Netanyahu explained why he hid the news.
“Today, my annual medical report was published. I requested to delay its publication by two months so that it would not be released at the height of the war, in order not to allow the Iranian terror regime to spread even more false propaganda against Israel,” Netanyahu wrote, according to a translation of hisposton X.
“I ask to share with you three things: 1 – Thank God, I am healthy. 2 – I am in excellent physical condition. 3 – I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it’s behind me,” he wrote.
“A year and a half ago, I underwent successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate, and since then I have been under routine medical monitoring. In the last monitoring, a tiny spot of less than a centimeter was discovered in the prostate. Upon examination, it turned out to be a very early stage of a malignant tumor, with no spread or metastases whatsoever,” he continued.
Netanyahu added that he was given the option of monitoring the tumor or fighting it.
