Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 76, visited Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem on Monday evening, according to Hebrew media reports.
Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem this evening (Monday).”
Netanyahu’s office claimed he was at the hospital for “dental treatment”, without providing further details, according to the report.
The visit came days after Netanyahu revealed that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer around a year and a half ago and had undergone radiation treatment.

The disclosure was made during statements and medical reports submitted to the Tel Aviv District Court as part of a lawsuit he filed against journalists accused of publishing false information about his health.
“My health is normal. Some even say it is excellent. I did not suffer from pancreatic cancer as reported in April 2024. If that were the case, I would not be alive today,” Netanyahu told the court, according to Hebrew news website Globes.
He added that an MRI scan carried out in late 2024 revealed a “small spot” on his prostate, which was later identified as an 8mm cancerous tumour.
Netanyahu said he underwent five radiation therapy sessions in January and February 2026, adding that follow-up tests showed the tumour had completely disappeared.
He also said he had previously undergone surgery to implant a heart rate monitoring device.
