Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed Friday he was treated for early-stage prostate cancer 18 months ago. He stated the decision to delay the announcement was to prevent Iran from using the information as propaganda against Israel.
Netanyahu described the condition as an "early-stage malign tumor - a tiny spot of less than a centimeter" that was successfully removed. He asserted he is now in "excellent physical condition."
He likened his approach to addressing the personal health matter to his leadership, stating he addresses potential dangers immediately, both nationally and personally.
This disclosure comes as Netanyahu prepares for White House discussions on a sustainable peace with Iran.
