Israel's Netanyahu will run in the next elections, Likud party says

He recently disclosed that surgeons had successfully removed what he described as a “small, early-stage malignant tumour” from his prostate.

Netanyahu has been admitted to the hospital several times since returning to office in December 2022, according to his office.

In March 2024, he underwent hernia surgery, before having the operation on his enlarged prostate in December of the same year.

In July 2023, less than three months before the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Netanyahu had a pacemaker implanted after a brief hospitalisation following complaints of dizziness.

Netanyahu is currently waging wars on three interconnected fronts.

In Gaza, Israel is continuing its near-daily attacks despite a ceasefire in the Palestinian territory. Its genocidal war has killed nearly 73,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

In Lebanon, it is pursuing a military offensive despite another ceasefire there. Israeli strikes have killed more than 3,600 people, injured over 11,000 others, and displaced more than 1.6 million since March 2, according to Lebanese officials.

And in Iran, Israel joined US in launching a wave of attacks that killed much of the country’s leadership and triggered a war that has spread across the region.
