El primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, se sometió discretamente a un tratamiento para el cáncer de próstata, según anunció este viernes al hacer públicos los resultados de su examen médico anual.

Es la primera vez que el líder con el mandato más largo en la historia de Israel reconoce haber sido diagnosticado con cáncer.

Netanyahu, de 76 años, se sometió a una cirugía por agrandamiento de próstata en diciembre de 2024, una operación que la Oficina del Primer Ministro había hecho pública en su momento. Según reveló Netanyahu en un comunicado compartido en sus redes sociales, en el último chequeo realizado tras la cirugía los médicos descubrieron un tumor maligno en su próstata de menos de un centímetro.

La Oficina del Primer Ministro también difundió dos cartas de sus médicos para acompañar la revelación en las redes sociales. “Se trata de una detección temprana de una lesión muy pequeña, sin metástasis, tal como confirmaron sin lugar a dudas todas las demás pruebas”, indicaba una de las cartas.

Netanyahu no revela cuándo se realizó el último chequeo, pero una fuente israelí familiarizada con el asunto declaró a CNN que el cáncer fue diagnosticado hace varios meses. Según dicha fuente, Netanyahu comenzó a recibir radioterapia hace aproximadamente dos meses y medio, y recientemente había concluido el tratamiento.

Netanyahu afirma que tomó la decisión de someterse a una radioterapia dirigida y que “la lesión desapareció por completo”.

“Gracias a Dios, gozo de buena salud”, escribió Netanyahu en las redes sociales. “Tuve un problema médico menor en la próstata que fue tratado por completo”. Asimismo, explica que retrasó dos meses la publicación de su informe médico anual —el cual revelaba que había sido diagnosticado con cáncer— para evitar que Irán lo utilizara con fines propagandísticos.

(CNN) — Italian peacekeepers have replaced a statue of Jesus Christ in a village in southern Lebanon after an Israeli soldier was pictured taking what appears to be a hammer or ax to the figure.

Israel apologized and placed two soldiers in detention after the image caused outrage in Christian communities in Lebanon and across the world. Another six soldiers have been questioned over the incident, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called “wholly inconsistent with the values expected” of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

On Wednesday, Italian peacekeepers escorted Archbishop Paolo Borgia, the Vatican’s ambassador to Lebanon, to the predominantly Christian village of Debel, where they were met by church bells and applause.

The small village in southern Lebanon has been mostly cut off from the rest of the country by the two-month war between Israel and the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah.

Debel is one of 55 Lebanese towns and villages currently occupied by Israeli forces and four miles west of Bint Jbeil, a place believed by the IDF to be a Hezbollah stronghold and the scene of recent fighting.

Debel’s residents say Israeli troops restrict almost all travel to and from their village.

Some 1,600 people remain in Debel, including 500 children, down from a pre-war population of around 4,000.

Internet connection in the village is limited and not enough food and medicine is being brought in, said Milia Louka, who fled Debel to Beirut two weeks ago.

“We go to sleep terrified because we never know what is going to happen,” she said.

Two of Louka’s family members have been killed by Israeli airstrikes since the war began.

On Thursday, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni thanked the Italian peacekeeping contingent, saying: “The images of the statue being handed over to the community and placed in the very spot where the statue destroyed a few days ago by an IDF soldier once stood are heart-warming and send a powerful message of hope, dialogue and peace.”

Debel’s Catholic parish priest, Father Fadi Felefli, echoed that sentiment, telling CNN the gift of the new statue was giving residents traumatized by weeks of nearby fighting much-needed hope.

“We accepted (Israel’s) apology because we are hoping that this makes things easier for us, so we don’t feel as suffocated,” he said.

The replacement Jesus figure will be placed in a garden on the outskirts of the village where the original statue stood. Another crucifix, given in replacement by Israel, has been donated to the local parish.

As for the Israeli soldiers who smashed the statue, Felefli told CNN he would continue to spread the Christian message of forgiveness.

“We are the sons of peace and sons of forgiveness; like Jesus said when he was being crucified, ‘God forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.’”

(CNN) — Brian Tyler remembers being in a hospital bed when the music for “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” came to him.

While in his music studio in August 2025, the composer suffered a major medical incident: a double subarachnoid brain hemorrhage — bleeding in the space between the brain and the membrane covering it.

“It just happened out of nowhere,” said Tyler, 53, speaking from his home in Los Angeles. “It’s like lightning striking and I was touching the void, facing the blackness.”

Many people with such a hemorrhage die suddenly, according to Cleveland Clinic. Among those who make it to the hospital, one-third die while hospitalized. Another third survive with a disability.

Tyler said the cause of the hemorrhage wasn’t clear. He went on to spend three weeks in the hospital undergoing treatment.

Soon, he found himself beating the odds. He put pen to paper, continuing the movie compositions he had been working on when he suffered his aneurysm — for both “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” and “Nuremberg,” which came out last year.

“It was like a cathartic kind of way to come back and it gave me a goal and a sense of where I was headed,” he said.

Now, with “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” having garnered more than $747 million globally at the box office and on track to be one of the year’s highest grossing films, Tyler is feeling grateful.

He quipped that his score was responsible for “99%” of the film’s success. It may have been a joke but to many superfans of the film — a sequel to 2023’s hugely successful “Super Mario Bros.,” which Tyler also composed for — the music is a key component.

“The music is such an important part of Super Mario Bros. and I wrote it all as one piece,” Tyler said. “The goal was to write something beautiful, epic and really impassioned.”

Tyler has had a storied career, composing music for dozens of major films including “Rambo,” “Crazy Rich Asians” and “The Iron Man 3.” He has also composed the theme for the U.S. Open Golf Championships and Formula 1.

Tyler also worked on the music for “Nuremberg” in the wake of his massive medical emergency, the critically acclaimed 2025 film starring Rami Malek as a US Army psychiatrist who evaluates Nazi leaders including Hermann Göring, played by Russell Crowe, ahead of the post-WWII trials. “’Nuremberg’ was such an important film historically, and it needed to really capture that era of time,” Tyler said.

Tyler saw a thread between his own experience and the two films he worked on.

“It happens to be that there’s these parallel lines with the story where you’re rising up, you’re enduring and you’re searching in both movies,” he said. “So, for me, it was like I was able to really write music for the experience I was just in.”

At the moment, though, it’s all “Super Mario Galaxy” all the time. The film, directed by Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic, Pierre Leduc and Fabien Polack and starring Brie Larson and Jack Black among others, is based on the legendary Nintendo video game series.

A fan of video games himself, Tyler understood the importance of meshing tunes with the visuals in the animated film, which was informed by one of Tyler’s super powers: chromesthesia.

The neurological phenomenon causes those who have it to be able to see sound as colors and shapes, which Tyler said acts as “a cheat code” when he is conducting an orchestra because he is able “to see the coloration of chords.”

“It’s like an added kind of way to listen by seeing the music itself,” Tyler said. “When people talk there’s always colors. I’m just used to it. I thought everyone had it.”

He will soon be able to show people what that feels like. Tyler is directing a film he describes as “a modern day
