In a surprising personal reveal, Benjamin Netanyahu disclosed he underwent treatment for prostate cancer and postponed his annual medical report to avoid giving Iran political ammunition amid the war — Read on to discover the full story!

Why the delay mattered

The 76-year-old prime minister said he asked officials to hold the publication for two months so the diagnosis wouldn’t be used by Iran as propaganda during heightened military operations. He posted the update on his official X account alongside his annual exam results.

Medical notes and recovery

The Prime Minister’s Office released two doctors’ letters describing an early detection: a very small prostate lesion with no metastases, which was treated. Netanyahu wrote he is healthy, in excellent condition, and thanked God that the issue is behind him. He urged citizens to get checked and follow doctors’ orders.
