Netanyahu revealed that he underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor

The Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, revealed today (Friday) that he underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in the prostate, which, according to his doctors, was eradicated and disappeared. He recently underwent a series of radiation.

Netanyahu elaborated:Today my annual medical report was published. I asked to delay its publication for two months so that it would not be published at the height of the war in order not to allow the terrorist regime in Iran to spread more false propaganda against Israel.

“I would like to share three things with you: 1 – God willing, I am healthy. 2 – I am in excellent physical shape. 3 – I had a small medical problem with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it is behind me. A year and a half ago I had a successful operation for an enlarged benign prostate and since then I have been under routine medical follow-up. At the last follow-up, a tiny spot of less than a centimeter was discovered in the prostate.

“On examination, it turned out to be a very early stage of a malignant tumor, without any spread or metastases. The doctors told me that this is very common among my peers, and that there are two options: 1 – You don’t have to treat it, you can just stay under observation. You can live with it, and many do. 2 – Get treated and remove the problem. You already know me. When I am given timely information about a possible danger, I want to treat it immediately. This is true on a national level as well as on a personal level. That’s what I did.

“I underwent a targeted treatment that removed the problem and left no trace of it. I had a few short treatments, read a book, and continued working. The stain disappeared completely. Thank God, I overcame that too. I would like to thank the doctors and the wonderful medical staff of the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. I have only one request from you, citizens of Israel: take care of your health. Get checked, and obey the doctors’ instructions.”
