Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is in “excellent physical condition” after undergoing treatment for early-stage prostate cancer, according to an official medical report and a statement released Friday.
The update detailed that a routine follow-up MRI identified a tiny lesion in Netanyahu’s prostate. Tests confirmed an early-stage malignant tumor with no spread or metastases. Doctors successfully treated the condition, eliminating it completely.
In a post on X, Netanyahu said he delayed the public release of his medical report by two months “so that it would not be released at the height of the war, in order not to allow the Iranian terror regime to spread even more false propaganda against Israel.”
היום התפרסם הדו״ח הרפואי השנתי שלי.
— Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) April 24, 2026
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…
“I ask to share with you three things: Thank God, I am healthy. I am in excellent physical condition. I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated,” Netanyahu wrote.
He said the issue was discovered during routine monitoring following earlier surgery for an enlarged benign prostate. “Upon examination, it turned out to be a very early stage of a malignant tumor, with no spread or metastases whatsoever,” he said.
Doctors presented two options, monitoring or treatment. Netanyahu chose immediate action.
“When I’m given information in time about a potential danger, I want to address it immediately,” he wrote. “I underwent targeted treatment that removed the problem and left no trace of it.”

He said the treatments were brief and allowed him to continue working. “The spot disappeared completely. Thank God, I overcame this too.”
Netanyahu thanked the medical teams at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem and urged the public to prioritize their health. “Take care of your health. Get checked, and follow the doctors’ instructions,” he said.
Israel’s prime minister holds a central role in shaping global security, diplomacy and the direction of events in the Middle East. That leadership carries weight far beyond the region and directly impacts the course of world affairs.
Through the lens of biblical prophecy, Israel remains at the center of unfolding events in the last days. We pray for Netanyahu’s continued strength, wisdom and full health as he leads at a pivotal moment.
