Netanyahu Undergoes Prostate Surgery During Period of Regional and Political Turmoil

The Israeli Prime Minister, 75, is recovering from a successful procedure as he navigates the Gaza war, intensified regional tensions, and a corruption trial.

Benjamin Netanyahu underwent successful surgery on Sunday to remove his prostate, with doctors confirming no signs of cancer or malignancy.
The procedure follows a series of health challenges for the 75-year-old leader, including a heart condition that required a pacemaker earlier this year.
Netanyahu's hospitalization coincides with ongoing crises, including the Gaza war, escalating tensions with Iran-backed Houthi rebels, and his corruption trial, which has been temporarily delayed due to his health issues.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin served as acting prime minister during the operation, ensuring continuity of leadership during Netanyahu's recovery.
Doctors report that Netanyahu's recovery from the endoscopic procedure is expected to be swift, with minimal limitations, though the timing underscores scrutiny of his health and leadership capacity.
