“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was treated for early-stage prostate cancer 18 months ago, he revealed Friday, saying he delayed making the …”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies the timing ('18 months ago') which is not consistently supported across the available evidence. While multiple web results discuss Netanyahu's prostate cancer treatment, they do not uniformly confirm the exact timeframe of '18 months ago' from independent sources. The evidence suggests reporting on the treatment but lacks corroboration on the specific 18-month timeline.
