Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will go into hospital to have his prostate removed, his office has said.
The 75-year-old was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection resulting from a benign prostate enlargement.
Mr Netanyahu is expected to go into hospital on Sunday to undergo the operation.
Earlier this year, he had surgery for a hernia and had a pacemaker fitted last year.
The announcement comes after the Israeli military raided one of the last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza, arresting its director.
