The 76 year-old Israeli leader said he underwent the initial surgery for an enlarged benign prostate in 2024 and has been under routine medical monitoring. “A tiny spot of less than a centimetre” was discovered during the most recent check up.<\/p>\n

“I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it’s behind me,” he said.<\/p>\n

In the lengthy post, Netanyahu also said he chose to undergo treatment because “when I’m given information in time about a potential danger, I want to address it immediately”.<\/p>\n

He added: “This is true on the national level and also on the personal level”. <\/p>\n

The revelation comes as Netanyahu is due to visit the White House in the coming weeks as the US seeks to broker a long lasting peace deal in the war with Iran.<\/p>\n

Israel’s ceasefire agreement with Lebanon<\/a>, following fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, has also been extended by three weeks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 76 year-old Israeli leader said he underwent the initial surgery for an enlarged benign prostate in 2024…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":915357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[12,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-915356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-news","9":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116459715022426855","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=915356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/915357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=915356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=915356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=915356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
