Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disclosed on April 25, 2026, that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer but has since undergone successful treatment, assuring the public that he is now in good health. The revelation came in a personal statement released by his office.
Netanyahu, 76, said the cancer was detected early during a routine medical check-up. He underwent a procedure to remove the tumor and is now fully recovered, according to his medical team. The prime minister did not provide specific details about the treatment or timeline.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, and when caught early, it often has a high survival rate. Netanyahu's office emphasized that he remains fit to carry out his duties as prime minister.
The announcement comes amid ongoing political tensions in Israel, but Netanyahu's health update has been met with widespread support from both domestic and international figures. His office confirmed that he will continue his regular schedule.
