Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was rushed to a medical centre on Monday evening, his office confirmed.
The PM’s office issued a statement saying he was receiving dental treatment after local media reported he had been taken to the hospital.
Netanyahu was taken to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Centre, Times of Israel reported.
While a dental procedure is not major news, the 76-year-old Israeli PM’s health has been a major focus in Israel, as he had recently undergone treatment for prostate cancer.
The had also said that he received radiation therapy for a cancerous tumour that was detected last year at Hadassah.
The diagnosis was reportedly kept a secret to stop Iran and its allies from using his health condition for propaganda.
Netanyahu also refrained from specifying when he was diagnosed, when he was treated or when the treatment had ended.
The announcement was accompanied by his annual health report with an additional document on his cancer diagnosis. The report only has five bullet points covering half a page and does not even mention the year. There were also no hospital logos to indicate they were formal medical statements.
The Israeli prime minister has had a history of medical issues.
He had a pacemaker implanted in July 2023, had a hernia surgery in March 2024 and a prostate removal surgery in December 2024.
In 2023, when Netanyahu received the pacemaker, initial reports only stated that she stayed overnight for dehydration monitoring.
However, after questions surfaced about his health, the hospital announced the head had been fitted with a subcutaneous heart monitor.
A week later the doctors assured the public that the premier’s heart was “completely normal" after acknowledging that they spotted irregularities in an electrogram test when he was hospitalised.
