On December 29, 2024, the Prime Minister underwent surgical treatment for benign prostate enlargement.

The procedure was successful and without any complications. An MRI scan performed as part of routine follow-up after surgery demonstrated a tiny focus, less than 1 cm, with suspicious characteristics in the prostate.

Further examination proved that this was indeed an accidental discovery and an early stage of prostate cancer.

This is an early detection of a tiny lesion, without metastases, as all other tests have proven beyond a doubt.

In lesions of this type, it is possible to continue with close monitoring only or with short, focused radiation therapy.

The Prime Minister chose the option of treatment. The treatment, managed by Prof. Aharon Popovtser together with Dr. Mark Vigoda and Dr. Shraga Gross, was completely successful with the complete disappearance of the lesion, as demonstrated by all imaging (X-ray) and laboratory tests.

I requested to delay its publication by two months so that it would not be released at the height of the war, in order to prevent the terrorist regime in Iran from spreading more false propaganda against Israel.

A year and a half ago, I underwent a successful surgery for benign enlarged prostate and since then I have been under routine medical follow-up.

In the last check-up, a tiny spot less than a centimeter was found on the prostate.

Examination revealed it was a very early stage of malignant tumor, with no spread or metastasis.

I underwent focused treatment that removed the problem and left no trace. I had a few short treatments, read a book, and continued working.

The spot disappeared completely. Thank God I overcame this as well.

Unlike the endless wars of the past that dragged on for years and for decades with little to show for it, Operation Epic Fury has delivered a decisive military result in just weeks.

Iran has an important choice, a chance to make a deal, a good deal — a wise deal.

As part of that effort, the United States has imposed an ironclad blockade that grows more powerful by the day.

Every ship that the U.S. believes meets our criteria, either Iranian ships or to and from Iranian ports, has been turned around.
