Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disclosed Friday that he underwent treatment for early-stage prostate cancer, revealing a private medical battle he said he kept from the public for two months because Israel was at war with Iran.
In a statement posted after the release of his annual medical report, Netanyahu, 76, said doctors found a tiny malignant tumor in his prostate during routine monitoring after a December 2024 procedure for benign prostate enlargement. He said the lesion was less than a centimeter, had not spread, and was treated successfully.
