‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday he underwent treatment for prostate cancer that was discovered during a routine checkup sometime after December 2024.
The tumor was discovered “a few months ago,” and Netanyahu was given radiation therapy “two and a half months ago,” according to the director of the Sharett Oncology Institute at Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center, Aron Popovtzer, where Netanyahu received the treatment, according to “The Times of Israel”.
The “disease has disappeared,” according to Popovtzer.
Netanyahu said on social media that he delayed the news for two months as he seeks to prevent “the terrorist regime in Iran from spreading more false propaganda against Israel”.
After the start of the ‘Israeli’-US war on Iran, rumours circulated on social media that Netanyahu was killed or injured by an Iranian attack.
