Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was taken to a hospital in Jerusalem on Monday evening, his office reportedly said a statement. The statement was issued after local media reported that he had been taken to the hospital.
Netanyahu was undergoing unspecified dental treatment at Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center, The Times of Israel reported.
Netanyahu’s health concerns
The 76-year-old’s health has remained under scrutiny after several incidents received backlash over claims that medical information had been withheld from the public.
These developments also fuelled speculation in Israel about his overall health condition, the report said.
Last month, Netanyahu revealed in a lengthy social media post that he had recently undergone successful radiation treatment at Hadassah for a malignant tumor in his prostate, but had held off on informing the public, claiming Iran would have used the information to “spread propaganda against Israel” during the ongoing war at that time.
He did not specify when he was diagnosed, when he began treatment, or when treatment had ended.
Netanyahu also had a pacemaker implanted in July 2023, a hernia surgery in March 2024, and a prostate removal surgery in December 2024.
Further details awaited.
