Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed he was treated for early-stage prostate cancer, delaying his medical report to prevent Iranian misinformation amid ongoing conflict. 

After routine monitoring post-surgery for a benign prostate issue, a small malignant tumor was found and successfully treated with brief targeted therapy. Netanyahu confirmed his excellent health and continued work, expressing gratitude to medical staff and praying for those affected by the Middle East war entering its eighth week.
