Israeli PM Netanyahu Reveals Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Ahead Of US Visit

Peloni:  Bibi, may the Master of the Universe grant you a complete and enduring refuah shleimah, strengthening you in both body and spirit.  May you also be blessed with continued health, long life, and the strength to carry on with your many responsibilities on behalf of Am Yisrael, as you go from strength to strength, and from victory to victory in good health and peace.

As you continue to lead the Jewish nation in its battles against Islamic terror and jihadism amid the context of the rising tide Jew Hatred among the nations, may you never know illness, never encounter defeat, and never fail to act while guided by the wisdom, courage, and decisiveness which will keep the nation strong, prosperous and united, as you have done in simultaneously facing your recent medical scare while raising war against the modern Amelekites holding dominion in Tehran.  As the longest serving premiere in Israel’s history, you have led the nation thru many significant trials, with the current wars being the height of the struggles which you have faced thus far.  As the making of war turns towards the making of peace, may you also follow a singular chord of victory which will secure the fate of the nation as one, undivided, united and secure to deliver into the hands of the emerging generation.  Am Israel Chai.

Video Loads Below Statement from PM Netanyahu

PM Netanyahu: 

Today, my annual medical report was published.

I requested to delay its publication by two months so that it would not be released at the height of the war, in order not to allow the Iranian terror regime to spread even more false propaganda against Israel.

I ask to share with you three things:

1 – Thank God, I am healthy.

2 – I am in excellent physical condition.

3 – I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it’s behind me.

A year and a half ago, I underwent successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate, and since then I have been under routine medical monitoring.

In the last monitoring, a tiny spot of less than a centimeter was discovered in the prostate.

Upon examination, it turned out to be a very early stage of a malignant tumor, with no spread or metastases whatsoever.

The doctors told me that this is very common among men my age, and that there are two options:

1 – It doesn’t have to be treated; it is possible to remain under monitoring alone. You can live with it, and many do so.

2 – Undergo treatment and remove the problem.

You already know me.

When I’m given information in time about a potential danger, I want to address it immediately.

This is true on the national level and also on the personal level.

That’s what I did.

I underwent targeted treatment that removed the problem and left no trace of it.

I went to a few short treatments, read a book, and continued working.

The spot disappeared completely.

Thank God, I overcame this too.

I wish to thank the doctors and the wonderful medical teams at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.

From you, citizens of Israel, I have only one request:
Take care of your health. Get checked, and follow the doctors’ instructions.

And from here, on the eve of Shabbat, I pray for the peace of our wounded in body and soul, and send them a warm hug and complete healing in your name.

Shabbat Shalom.
