Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discloses treatment for early-stage prostate cancer

Benjamin Netanyahu announced he was treated for an early-stage malignant prostate tumour discovered during routine monitoring following prior surgery for a benign enlarged prostate. Netanyahu stated the treatment fully removed the cancer and said he delayed public disclosure to avoid the release coinciding with Israel's conflict with Iran. He described himself as being in 'excellent physical condition.'
