Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced he was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer but has since undergone treatment and is now cancer-free.

In an April 24 post to X, the Israeli leader said he delayed disclosing the diagnosis due to the possibility of it being used as propaganda during the conflict with Iran.
