Benjamin Netanyahu’s medical condition: He underwent treatment to remove a tiny prostate lesion

The Prime Minister responded to the publication of the report in a post on Network X: “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 I asked to delay its publication for two months so that it would not be published at the height of the war in order not to allow the terrorist regime in Iran to spread any more false propaganda against Israel.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 minor medical problem in my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, this 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. The examination revealed that it was a very early stage of a malignant tumor, without any spread or metastasis. 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, just stay under observation. You can live with it, and many do. 2 – Get treatment and remove the problem.

“You already know me. When I am given timely information about a possible danger, I want to take care of it immediately. This is true on a national level as well as on a personal level. That’s what I did. I underwent 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. And from here, on Shabbat Eve, I pray for the peace of our wounded in body and soul, and send them a warm hug and complete healing in your name. Shabbat Shalom.”
