Netanyahu has been treated briefly at a hospital yesterday; his office says it was for dental work.
The 76-year-old premier’s health has become a major focus after several incidents that exposed him to criticism over the
withholding of medical information from the public. They have led to considerable speculation among many in Israel as to the prime minister’s overall health.
Last month, Netanyahu revealed in a lengthy social media post that he had recently undergone successful radiation treatment at Hadassah for a malignant tumor in his prostate, but had held off on informing the public, claiming Iran would have used the information to spread propaganda against Israel in the midst of the recent war.
He did not specify when he was diagnosed, when he began treatment, or when treatment had ended.
Netanyahu’s announcement was accompanied by the release of his annual health report along with an additional document on his cancer diagnosis and treatment, though the report consisted of five vague bullet points covering half a page, and did not even say what year it covered. Neither document bore a hospital logo or any indication that they were formal medical statements.
