Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have his prostate removed on Sunday, his office says in a statement.
Last Wednesday, he underwent an examination at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, where doctors discovered an infection in his urinary tract resulting from a benign enlargement of the prostate.
Since the discovery, Netanyahu has been taking antibiotics, which successfully treated the infection, the PMO says.
Sunday’s cabinet meeting will take place, Netanyahu’s office says.
