Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has successfully undergone prostate surgery, according to a statement from Hadassah Medical Centre in Jerusalem. The procedure, which took place late on Sunday, involved the removal of Netanyahu’s prostate. Following the surgery, the Prime Minister is now in recovery at the hospital.
In a previous announcement, Netanyahu’s office confirmed that Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally of Netanyahu, would serve as acting prime minister while the Prime Minister undergoes his recovery process. This temporary arrangement ensures that the functions of the government continue smoothly during Netanyahu’s absence.
Professor Ofer Gofrit, Director of the Department of Urology at Hadassah Medical Centre, provided an update on Netanyahu’s condition. Speaking alongside Dr. Stéphane Ledot, the senior anaesthetist who assisted during the operation, Professor Gofrit stated that the surgery had been completed successfully. “The Prime Minister’s operation is over. The surgery was performed by Dr. Ehud Gnessin from Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, with assistance from Professor Mordechai Duvdevani. Thank God, everything went well,” he said. Professor Gofrit further reassured the public that there were no signs of malignancy or cancer following the procedure.
After the surgery, Netanyahu was transferred to the recovery room, and the medical team expressed confidence in his progress. There is no indication of any serious complications, and his recovery is expected to proceed without issue.
Following his surgery, Netanyahu is expected to remain in the hospital for several days to fully recover. His office has confirmed that he plans to resume his duties as Prime Minister once he has regained full strength and is medically cleared to do so. The interim arrangement with Yariv Levin in place ensures that government functions are unaffected during Netanyahu’s recovery period.
The surgery has sparked widespread attention in Israel, but medical experts have expressed optimism about Netanyahu’s recovery. The Prime Minister, who is known for his active leadership style, has faced various health challenges in recent years, and his successful surgery is seen as a positive outcome. The operation, which was necessary for Netanyahu’s health, appears to have gone smoothly, and there is little cause for concern regarding his long-term health.
Netanyahu, who has served as Prime Minister for multiple terms, continues to be a central figure in Israeli politics. His leadership has been marked by strong domestic and international policies, including his efforts in security and foreign relations. As Netanyahu recovers, the Israeli public and his political allies remain hopeful that he will return to office in good health and resume his work as the leader of the country.
In summary, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery, with his medical team confirming that everything went well and there are no signs of cancer. His close ally, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, will act as Prime Minister during Netanyahu’s recovery. The Prime Minister is expected to recover in the hospital for several days and plans to return to his duties once he has fully recovered.
