Netanyahu admitted to Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital for dental procedure
Officials said the 76-year-old leader was admitted for routine dental treatment after online rumors falsely claimed he was critically ill.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was admitted to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center on Monday evening for a dental procedure, renewing public attention on the 76-year-old leader's health after Hebrew media outlets reported the hospital visit.
Last month, Netanyahu disclosed through social media that he had undergone successful radiation treatment for a malignant prostate tumor at Hadassah hospital, claiming he delayed disclosure because Iran could have used health details for propaganda purposes during regional conflict.
Netanyahu testified earlier this month that his medical condition was "proper and excellent," stating he exercises regularly with completely normal test indicators, while acknowledging early-stage prostate cancer detected late in 2025 and hernia surgery in March 2024.
Judge Menahem Mizrahi allowed Netanyahu to leave his testimony early after roughly half an hour when he departed for a ceremony, while documents released with his cancer announcement lacked official hospital branding and formal certification, prompting transparency criticism.
The repeated medical episodes have fueled political and public discussion in Israel regarding leadership continuity, transparency, and disclosure standards for serving heads of government, with Netanyahu's health remaining a focal point of ongoing scrutiny.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was taken to a Jerusalem hospital for dental treatment, Israeli media reported Monday evening, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office.
About a month ago, speculation about Netanyahu's health and cancer diagnosis caused a stir. Now Israel's prime minister is again in a Jerusalem clinic, according to his office for dental treatments.
