Netanyahu to undergo major prostate surgery after UTI diagnosis

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to undergo prostate removal surgery on Sunday after being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection last week. The surgery was announced by Netanyahu’s office on Saturday, with the infection being attributed to a benign enlargement of his prostate. At 75 years old, Netanyahu is facing multiple challenges as he leads Israel in conflicts across the Middle East, particularly against Iran and its proxy terrorist groups.

In recent developments, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a series of airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, targeting strategic locations such as Sana’a International Airport. The IDF stated that the Houthi terrorist regime has repeatedly attacked Israel and its citizens, using UAVs and surface-to-surface missiles. The airstrikes also targeted military infrastructure in other key ports along the western coast of Yemen.

The Houthi rebels, who control northern Yemen, have been supporting Hamas terrorists in their ongoing conflict with Israel. They have attempted to enforce an embargo on Israel by launching missiles and drones at cargo vessels crossing the Red Sea, a crucial shipping lane for international trade.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu is also facing a corruption trial within Israel, where he is accused of exchanging regulatory favors for positive press coverage in dealings with media moguls. The trial began in 2020 and has seen around 140 witnesses testify so far, including former prime ministers, security chiefs, and media personalities.

Despite these challenges, Netanyahu remains steadfast in his leadership role, working to address both internal and external threats to Israel’s security. As he undergoes surgery and continues to navigate complex geopolitical issues, the Israeli Prime Minister remains a key figure in the region’s political landscape.
