Key Facts
Netanyahu said doctors discovered a malignant tumor in his prostate at a “very early stage” and he decided to undergo treatment to remove it completely.
Details were released as part of the Israeli prime minister’s annual medical report published Friday, after a two-month delay he had requested.
Netanyahu said he sought the delay to avoid releasing this information at the height of the war with Iran and he did not want Tehran’s leaders to use it to “spread even more false propaganda against Israel.”
