Netanyahu before life-changing prostate operation: This is what happens next!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing an urgent health procedure: on Thursday he will have to have his prostate removed due to a urinary tract infection caused by a benign enlargement of the prostate. This was officially announced by his office and originally reported oe24. However, after treatment with antibiotics, the infection could not be contained sufficiently, which made the need for surgery unavoidable.

Operation despite official business

Although Netanyahu will undergo significant surgery, the scheduled Cabinet meeting on Sunday remains unchanged and will take place, the Prime Minister's Office assured. This shows that the 75-year-old remains active in his political role despite his health problems. Mercury reported that Netanyahu has undergone several health procedures in the past, including a hernia operation in March 2024 and the implantation of a pacemaker in July 2023.

These health challenges are casting a shadow over Israel's otherwise stable political landscape as Netanyahu prepares for surgery. Details of the procedure itself are expected to be released at a later date, with all eyes on the upcoming Cabinet meeting, which will take place despite the operation.
