Israeli PM Netanyahu Shares for the First Time

Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that his annual medical report has just been launched, which revealed that Israel’s chief has undergone treatment for prostate cancer.

He went on to say that the report’s release got here a few months later than anticipated, and including that the purpose for its tardiness was strategic. I’ll get to that in a minute.

Netanyahu wrote in a post shared on his X account:

היום התפרסם הדו״ח הרפואי השנתי שלי.

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…

— Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) April 24, 2026

After writing that the heath report was revealed on Friday, Netanyahu continued by giving a little background on his health: he beforehand underwent surgical procedure for an enlarged prostate in 2024, one thing which was reported contemporaneously by his workplace. But during a check-up after the surgical procedure, he said in the assertion Friday, docs discovered “a malignant tumor” of less than a centimeter in the organ.

He said that, “thank God,” he’s now “healthy” and “completely treated” for the tumor in his prostate.

“I ask to share with you three things:

1 – Thank God, I am healthy.

2 – I am in excellent physical condition.

3 – I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it’s behind me.”

Once docs discovered the cancer, which he described as “a very early stage of a malignant tumor, with no spread or metastases whatsoever,” they gave him some choices, he wrote:

“1 – It doesn’t have to be treated; it is possible to remain under monitoring alone. You can live with it, and many do so. 

2 – Undergo treatment and remove the problem.”

He said that he didn’t hesitate on how to reply:

“When I’m given information in time about a potential danger, I want to address it immediately.”

He said “[he] underwent targeted treatment that removed the problem and left no trace of it; this course of action involved “a few short therapies,” he wrote, during which he “read a ebook, and continued working.”

Netahyahu went on to say the tumor “disappeared utterly,” and thankfully, “I overcame this too.”

The Israeli prime minister also addressed the strategy behind delaying the news’ public release:

“I requested to delay its publication by two months so that it might not be launched at the peak of the battle, in order not to enable the Iranian terror regime to unfold even more false propaganda against Israel.”

One report said that “Netanyahu started present process radiation therapy about two and a half months in the past, according to the source, and had just lately accomplished the treatment.” The prime minister’s workplace also launched two statements from docs on the scenario, around the same time of Netanyahu’s post on X, the GWN story said:

“This is an early detection of a very small lesions, with no metastases, as all other tests confirmed beyond any doubt,” one letter said.

Netanyahu’s full assertion reads:

Today, my annual medical report was revealed. 

I requested to delay its publication by two months so that it might not be launched at the peak of the battle, in order not to enable the Iranian terror regime to unfold even more false propaganda against Israel. 

I ask to share with you three issues:

1 – Thank God, I’m healthy.

2 – I’m in wonderful bodily condition.

3 – I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was utterly handled. Thank God, it is behind me.

A 12 months and a half in the past, I underwent profitable surgical procedure for an enlarged benign prostate, and since then I’ve been under routine medical monitoring. 

In the last monitoring, a tiny spot of less than a centimeter was found in the prostate. 

Upon examination, it turned out to be a very early stage of a malignant tumor, with no unfold or metastases by any means. 

The docs told me that this may be very common among males my age, and that there are two choices:

1 – It does not have to be handled; it’s potential to stay under monitoring alone. You can live with it, and many do so. 

2 – Undergo treatment and take away the downside.

You already know me.

When I’m given info in time about a potential hazard, I need to deal with it immediately. 

This is true on the national stage and also on the personal stage.

That’s what I did.

I underwent focused treatment that eliminated the downside and left no hint of it.

I went to a few short therapies, read a ebook, and continued working.

The spot disappeared utterly. 

Thank God, I overcame this too.

I want to thank the docs and the fantastic medical groups at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. 

From you, residents of Israel, I’ve only one request:

Take care of your health. Get checked, and observe the docs’ instructions.

And from right here, on the eve of Shabbat, I pray for the peace of our wounded in physique and soul, and ship them a heat hug and full therapeutic in your identify.
