On Friday, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu disclosed that his latest medical report has been published, revealing that he has been treated for prostate cancer.
Netanyahu explained that the report was released a few months later than initially planned, citing strategic reasons for the delay, which he promised to elaborate on soon.
In a post on his X account, Netanyahu provided further details:
He noted that the health report was made public on Friday and shared some background information on his medical history. In 2024, Netanyahu underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate, a procedure that was publicly announced by his office at the time. However, during a follow-up examination after the surgery, doctors discovered a “malignant tumor” less than a centimeter in size within the prostate, as stated in his Friday announcement.
ביקשתי לעכב את פרסומו בחודשיים כדי שהוא לא יפורסם בשיא המלחמה על מנת שלא לאפשר למשטר הטרור באיראן להפיץ עוד תעמולת כזב נגד ישראל.
אני מבקש לשתף אתכם בשלושה דברים:
1 – ברוך השם, אני בריא.
2 – אני בכושר גופני מצויין.
3 – הייתה לי בעיה…

After writing that the heath report was published on Friday, Netanyahu continued by giving a little background on his health: he previously underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate in 2024, something which was reported contemporaneously by his office. But during a check-up after the surgery, he said in the statement Friday, doctors found “a malignant tumor” of less than a centimeter in the organ.
