Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent surgery that was completed on Sunday, Fox News has learned.
The Israeli leader underwent the removal of his prostate due to a urinary tract infection caused by a benign prostate enlargement. Netanyahu’s office confirmed the necessity of the procedure to address the health issue.
His current condition is unknown.
After experiencing a urinary tract infection, Netanyahu revealed that he had a monitoring device implanted. The device indicated the urgent need for a pacemaker installation that same night.
“I feel great, but I need to listen to my doctors.”

Netanyahu’s most recent operation came as the 75-year-old politician continues to testify in a corruption case against him in Israel.
He took the stand earlier in December and is expected to continue testifying in the new year.
Netanyahu is also currently leading the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on multiple fronts across the Middle East, continuing to target Iranian terrorists and their proxies.
