Netanyahu, 76, said on Friday he wanted to share that he is healthy and \u201cin excellent physical condition,\u201d but that he \u201chad a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA year and a half ago, I underwent successful surgery for an enlarged benign prostate, and since then I have been under routine medical monitoring,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cIn 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
His doctors told him that he had two options, he said: not undergo treatment but continue monitoring the spot, or undergo treatment.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou already know me,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cWhen I\u2019m 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\u2019s what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netanyahu, 76, said on Friday he wanted to share that he is healthy and \u201cin excellent physical condition,\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43,31801],"class_list":["post-408928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-news-desk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
