Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed he is in excellent physical condition following the successful removal of an early-stage malignant tumor. The 76-year-old leader disclosed that the medical issue was identified during routine monitoring following a 2024 surgery for an enlarged benign prostate.

Doctors discovered a tiny spot of less than a centimeter, which was promptly treated and fully resolved. Netanyahu explained that he requested a delay in the publication of his medical records to ensure that the news did not provide an opening for the Iranian regime to disseminate propaganda during a critical period of conflict.

Emphasizing his commitment to transparency and decisive action, Netanyahu stated that he addresses potential dangers immediately, whether they concern his personal health or the national security of Israel.

The Prime Minister remains focused on his duties as he prepares for an upcoming visit to the White House to discuss peace efforts in the ongoing war with Iran.
