Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has undergone successful prostate surgery, an Israeli hospital said on Sunday, a procedure that comes as he manages multiple crises, including the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip and his own trial for alleged corruption.

Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Centre said his prostate was removed late Sunday. Doctors said he was awake and recovering after the surgery on Sunday night.
