The Spin


Narrative A

Benjamin Netanyahu's medical procedure has been successful, and should not raise any alarm over his health because his prostate condition is non-cancerous and quite common in men his age. Once fully recovered, the Israeli prime minister will be back to lead the country.


Narrative B

It's certain that a prostate removal surgery isn't too much of a big deal, but the issue with Netanyahu is that concerns regarding his health — and for how long he would be able to lead Israel — have been mounting due to a series of medical procedures he underwent over the past years.
