Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set for prostate removal surgery, his office announced. The procedure coincides with Netanyahu handling various crises, notably the ongoing Gaza conflict and his corruption trial.

Alongside leaders like US President Biden and former President Trump, Netanyahu, 75, faces intense scrutiny over health due to his age. His efforts to maintain an image of vigor contrast with recent health challenges.

This surgery highlights regional instability risks and raises concerns for Israel's leadership during its recovery. Justice Minister Yariv Levin will temporarily assume Netanyahu's duties during the hospital stay.
