Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has disclosed that he was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer following a routine medical examination, confirming that he has since completed treatment and fully recovered. According to official statements, the diagnosis came after a post-surgery checkup linked to a procedure he underwent in December 2024 for an enlarged prostate. During follow-up testing, doctors identified a sub-centimeter malignant tumour. Medical reports confirmed that the cancer was detected at an early stage, with no signs of metastasis. Netanyahu subsequently underwent targeted radiation therapy over a period of more than two months. Officials now say the treatment resulted in the complete disappearance of the cancerous lesion.
