Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he is 'in excellent physical condition' after the publication of his annual medical report revealed he had a malignant tumour removed. In a post on X on Friday, Netanyahu stated that during routine medical monitoring following successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate, doctors found an early-stage malignant tumour. He assured that treatment had 'removed the problem and left no trace of it'.
Netanyahu mentioned that he had requested to delay publication of his health record so it was not released at the height of the US and Israel's war with Iran, to prevent Tehran from spreading 'even more false propaganda against Israel'. He revealed that he had the initial surgery for an enlarged benign prostate about a year and a half ago and had been under routine medical monitoring since, where a 'tiny spot of less than a centimetre' was discovered during the last check-up.
'I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it's behind me,' he said. The Israeli leader emphasized that he chose to undergo treatment immediately upon receiving information about potential health threats, asserting the same principle applies at both the personal and national levels.
This health revelation comes as Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House soon as diplomatic efforts continue to broker a lasting peace deal regarding the ongoing conflict with Iran. related news on Israel's ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, which has been extended by three weeks amid escalating tensions with Iranian-backed Hezbollah.
