Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 75, is scheduled to undergo prostate removal surgery on Sunday after being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection caused by a benign prostate enlargement. Last Wednesday, Netanyahu underwent an examination at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, where doctors identified the infection. The Prime Minister's Office stated, 'Netanyahu will undergo prostate removal treatment tomorrow.' Despite the surgery, government meetings and events are expected to continue without delay or cancellation, including the weekly cabinet meeting. However, Netanyahu will not appear in court on Monday for his trial due to the operation.
