About a month ago, the 76-year-old first announced treatment for a malignant prostate tumor and then announced that he was healthy. At the same time, he said he had delayed the publication of his health report to prevent Iran’s leadership from spreading propaganda.
During the Iran war, there were rumors on social media that Netanyahu was long dead. There is always speculation at home and abroad about his health.
The Israeli prime minister has often been hospitalized for health problems in the past. In 2024 he also underwent surgery for a hernia. A pacemaker was inserted in him in the summer of 2023. Last year he had an intestinal infection, which he was able to cure at home. (sda/dpa)
