Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he is “in excellent physical condition” after the publication of his annual medical report revealed he had a malignant tumour removed.

In a post on X on Friday, Netanyahu said that during routine medical monitoring following successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate, doctors found an early-stage malignant tumour.

Treatment had “removed the problem and left no trace of it”, he added.

Netanyahu said he had requested to delay publication of his health record so it was not released at the height of the US and Israel’s war with Iran, to prevent Tehran from spreading “even more false propaganda against Israel”.

The 76 year-old Israeli leader said he underwent the initial surgery for an enlarged benign prostate in 2024 and has been under routine medical monitoring. “A tiny spot of less than a centimetre” was discovered during the most recent check up.

Damn, I wish it wasn’t early stage, because he is certainly one of the few people who genuinely deserves cancer

Fitting as he also is a cancer to the world.

T00l_shed@lemmy.world on 24 Apr 17:35 collapse

Well in that case we need to give him enough chemo and radiation therapy to kill the entire cancer

prostate is pretty treatable early stages, especially if you get regular blood test to detect markers for the cancer, at his age he likely is. something like pacreatic unlikely, since it almost always advanced when symptoms show up. prostate is slow enough that most people pass away before the cancer kills them, or is diagnosed with it. aggressive ones are like pancreatic, colon if mestasize, leukemias.

I hope it’s aggressive and malignant.

Oh, it is! Hopefully the cancer is as well.

Prostate cancer is really easy to treat and delay, unfortunately. I have a family member dealing with it right now, very late stage, and its still extremely treatable.

Good.

Hopefully, his course of treatment is filled with complications and much suffering.

My condolences to the cancer.

I feel like anyone with aggressive or late stage cancer should not be allowed to decide whether a nation goes to war or not.

You have a warped set of perceptions once death is knocking on your door.

JK it says early stage, kick him out for war crimes then.

I agree, if you were a farmer you would have your gun revoked.

Couldn’t have happened to a better guy

green_red_black@slrpnk.net on 24 Apr 14:25 next collapse

It’s early stage so let’s hope the cancer spreads and becomes terminal

Alhamdulillah.

Several cancers beginning with P, and this is regrettably the easiest to treat.

unmagical@lemmy.ml on 24 Apr 15:04 next collapse

Even more false propaganda against Israel

Like what Bibi? That you kill children or are committing a genocide? Cause that ain’t falsehoods.

Very rarely am I rooting for cancer.

Bwaz@lemmy.world on 24 Apr 15:52 next collapse

he IS a malignant tumor.

elbucho@lemmy.world on 24 Apr 15:58 next collapse

Well damn. That is really unfortunate.

Not that he has cancer, mind. That’s great. Him getting treated for it is unfortunate.

Dremor@lemmy.world on 24 Apr 16:14 next collapse

They removed the wrong side of the tumor.

Anyway…
