The Prime Minister’s Office says Benjamin Netanyahu is awake and recovering after a successful prostate removal surgery.

“The surgery ended successfully without complications,” the PMO says in a statement. “The prime minister has woken up, is in good condition and is completely conscious.”

It adds that he has been moved to an underground and fortified recovery ward, where he is expected to spend several days under observation.

Netanyahu’s office also thanks the team of surgeons who performed the operation.

In a separate statement from the hospital, urology department head Prof. Ofer Gofrit says, “The procedure went as planned.”
