Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will undergo prostate removal surgery on Sunday after being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection stemming from a benign enlargement of his prostate. The 75-year-old leader has been leading Israel in multiple conflicts across the Middle East, including airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Houthis have fired upon Israel for over a year to support Hamas terrorists and have attempted to enforce an embargo on Israel by launching missiles and drones at cargo vessels crossing the Red Sea.
Netanyahu’s office announced the surgery, describing it as necessary due to the infection. He is also testifying in a corruption case against him within Israel, which began in 2020 and accuses him of exchanging regulatory favors for positive press coverage in under-the-table dealings with media moguls. A total of 140 witnesses have taken the stand so far, though only about half of the initially expected number are still to testify.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu has been at the center of multiple conflicts, including a recent series of airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, targeting Sana’a International Airport and other locations. The IDF stated that the targets included military infrastructure used by the Houthi terrorist regime for its military activities.
