President Donald Trump’s buddy in arms, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has revealed he underwent cancer treatment.

The 76-year-old, who is currently locked in conflicts in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza, said on Friday that during his latest checkup, doctors found a malignant prostate tumor measuring less than a third of an inch.

When that checkup took place remains unclear, but a source told https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/24/middleeast/netanyahu-prostate-cancer-treatment-intl" rel="" target="_self" title="https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/24/middleeast/netanyahu-prostate-cancer-treatment-intl">CNN that it had been several months since the diagnosis and added that radiation therapy had been commenced two and a half months ago.

In his announcement on social media, Netanyahu said he had delayed publishing his annual health report so it could not be used by Iran for propaganda.

His office also released a doctor’s letter, which reported “an early detection of a very small lesions, with no metastases, as all other tests confirmed beyond any doubt.” It was revealed by Israeli authorities at the time that in December 2024, he underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate. “Thank God, I am healthy,” Netanyahu said. “I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated.”
