TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underwent successful surgery Sunday to have his prostate removed, hospital officials said, a procedure that came as he manages multiple crises including the war in Gaza and his trial for alleged corruption . Netanyahu, who has had a series of health issues in recent years, has gone to great lengths to bolster a public image of himself as a healthy, energetic leader. During his trial this month, he boasted about working 18-hour days, accompanied by a cigar. But as Israel's longest-serving leader, such a grueling workload over a total of 17 years in power could take a toll on his well-being. Netanyahu, 75, is among older world leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden, 82 , President-elect Donald Trump, 78 , Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva , 79, and Pope Francis , 88, who have come under scrutiny for their age and health issues. Netanyahu's latest condition is common in older men, but the procedure has had some fallout. The judges overseeing his trial accepted a request from his lawyer on Sunday to call off three days of testimony scheduled this week. The lawyer, Amit Hadad, had argued that Netanyahu would be fully sedated for the procedure and hospitalized for “a number of days.” Dr. Ofer Gofrit, head of the urology department at Jerusalem's Hadassah Medical Center, said in a video statement late Sunday that the procedure had gone well and “there was no fear” of cancer or malignancy. “We only hope for the best,” he said. In a statement, Netanyahu thanked his doctors. His office said he was "fully alert" and was taken to an underground recovery unit fortified against potential missile attacks. Netanyahu was expected to remain in the hospital for several days of observation. Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close ally, served as acting prime minister during the operation. With so much at stake, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world. As Israel’s leader, Netanyahu is at the center of major global events that are shifting the Middle East . With the dizzying pace of the past 14 months, being incapacitated for even a few hours can be risky. Netanyahu will be in the hospital at a time when international mediators are pushing Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and as fighting between Israel and Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels intensifies . Prostate issues are common and in many cases easily treatable. Still, the procedure puts a dent in Netanyahu’s image of vigor at a time when he would want to project strength more than ever, both to an Israeli audience navigating constant threats as well as to Israel’s enemies looking to expose its weaknesses. Netanyahu insists he is in excellent health. His office releases footage of him touring war zones in full protective gear flanked by military officers, or meeting with defense officials on windswept hilltops in youthful dark shades and puffer jackets. But that image was shattered last year when Netanyahu’s doctors revealed that he had a heart condition , a problem that he had apparently long known about but concealed from the public. A week after a fainting spell, Netanyahu was fitted with a pacemaker to control his heartbeat. Only then did staff at the Sheba Medical Center reveal that Netanyahu has for years experienced a condition that can cause irregular heartbeats. The revelation came as Netanyahu was dealing with massive anti-government protests. The news about a chronic heart problem stoked further anger and distrust during extreme political polarization in Israel. Last year, Netanyahu was rushed to the hospital for what doctors said likely was dehydration . He stayed overnight, prompting his weekly Cabinet meeting to be delayed. Earlier this year, Netanyahu underwent hernia surgery , during which he was under full anesthesia and unconscious. Levin served as acting prime minister during the operation. According to Netanyahu’s office, the Israeli leader was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection on Wednesday stemming from a benign enlargement of his prostate. The infection was treated successfully with antibiotics, but doctors said the surgery was needed in any case. Complications from prostate enlargement are common in men in their 70s and 80s, Dr. Shay Golan, head of the oncology urology service at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center, told Israeli Army Radio. Golan spoke in general terms and was not involved in Netanyahu’s care or treatment. He said an enlarged prostate can block proper emptying of the bladder, leading to a build-up of urine that can lead to an infection or other complications. After medicinal treatment, doctors can recommend a procedure to remove the prostate to prevent future blockages, Golan said. In Netanyahu’s case, because the prostate is not cancerous, Golan said doctors were likely performing an endoscopic surgery, carried out by inserting small instruments into a body cavity, rather than making surgical cuts in the abdomen to reach the prostate. The procedure lasts about an hour, Golan said, and recovery is quick. He said that aside from catheter use for one to three days after the procedure, patients can return to normal activity without significant limitations.

Whoopi Goldberg and Charlamagne Tha God clash live on air in painfully awkward moment on The View By ALEXA CIMINO FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 16:00 EST, 4 December 2024 | Updated: 16:24 EST, 4 December 2024 e-mail 13 shares 95 View comments Tensions flared between The View 's Whoopi Goldberg and guest Charlamagne tha God about President Joe Biden 's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden . Charlamagne, the host for the radio show The Breakfast Club, criticized Democrats , saying their frequent claims of moral superiority exposed them to additional scrutiny. 'Democrats stand on this moral high ground all the time, and, you know, they act so self-righteous,' he said. 'The reality is [Biden] didn't have to say anything in regards to whether or not his son wanted to be pardoned.' He also accused Biden of contradicting his own statement that 'no one is above the law' by pardoning Hunter. 'I'm going to stop you for a second,' Goldberg said, interrupting Charlamagne, who looked surprised. 'Only because you don't know that it was a lie. We don't know why he changed his mind,' Goldberg explained. 'I think he changed his mind because he got sick of watching everybody else get over,' Goldberg said. 'And this is just my feeling because at some point you get to a place where you just go, 'So I'm just going to follow the straight and narrow always,' because that is what is expected of Democrats.' Tensions flared between The View's Whoopi Goldberg and guest Charlamagne tha God about President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden Charlamagne, the host for the radio show The Breakfast Club, criticized Democrats, saying their frequent claims of moral superiority made them open to valid scrutiny Charlamagne pushed back, arguing that Democrats bring criticism on themselves by projecting a self-righteous image. When Goldberg asked if he was upset with Biden for changing his stance, Charlamagne clarified that he wasn't angry about the pardon itself. Goldberg pressed further, saying, 'But you sound like you're mad.' Goldberg then turned to the panel and asked, questioned why Biden's actions provoke such strong reactions compared to Donald Trump, who often changes his positions without similar backlash. Charlamagne suggested that political allegiance had become tribal, comparing party loyalty to rooting for sports teams. He criticized Democrats and Republicans for '[refusing] to be objective 'about anything.' Goldberg responded, 'I'll tell you when Democrats are wrong.' Charlamagne challenged her, asking, 'So you don't think Joe Biden is wrong?' 'I don't,' Goldberg replied. The radio host also accused Biden of contradicting his own statement that 'no one is above the law' by pardoning Hunter 'Well, that's ridiculous,' Charlamagne said. Goldberg shot back, 'You're ridiculous.' Charlamagne clarified, 'I didn't say, 'You're ridiculous, Miss Goldberg... I just think that's ridiculous.' Despite the heated exchange, the segment ended on a lighter note when Goldberg asked Charlamagne for a kiss. The radio host obliged, running over to share a hug and defuse the tension.

Desharnais Mistake: Canucks D-Man 'Out There' in Trade TalksMac Jones threw two touchdown passes Sunday and the Jacksonville Jaguars earned a season sweep of the visiting Tennessee Titans with a 20-13 victory. Jones connected on 15 of 22 passes for 174 yards, finding Parker Washington and rookie Bryan Thomas Jr. for scores, as Jacksonville (4-12) left Tennessee (3-13) behind in the AFC South cellar. Cam Little booted field goals of 48 and 44 yards. Mason Rudolph hit 19 of 31 attempts for 193 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Titans, which dropped their fifth consecutive game. Tyjae Spears rushed for 95 yards on 20 carries, playing in place of Tony Pollard (flu/ankle). Jones' 11-yard scoring strike to Thomas with 7:05 left in the game gave the Jaguars a 20-10 lead but Tennessee responded with Matthew Wright's 28-yard field goal at the 2:02 mark. After getting a three-and-out, the Titans had a chance to force overtime and reached the Jacksonville 26. But Rudolph's fourth-down pass intended for Nick Westbrook-Ikhine was knocked down at the goal line with nine seconds left. The pregame storyline concerned which team could benefit most from a loss. Both entered a game behind the New York Giants for the potential No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL Draft. Jacksonville initiated scoring on the game's opening drive, needing to drive only 38 yards on nine plays to set up Little for his first field goal at the 10:46 mark. The Jaguars got into the end zone for the first time with 8:59 left in the half on Jones' 2-yard touchdown pass to Washington, coming five plays after Rudolph tossed a tipped-ball interception. Little's second field goal upped the margin to 13-0 with 2:02 remaining before Tennessee pieced together a two-minute drive that set up Wright for a 39-yard field goal as time expired, making it 13-3 at halftime. The Titans started the second half with their best drive of the game, chewing up 85 yards and eight minutes before Rudolph hit Nick Vannett with an 8-yard strike to cut the margin to 13-10. --Field Level Media
