    About

    Patrick Drahi launched i24NEWS on July 17, 2013, establishing a 24-hour international broadcast network headquartered in the historic Jaffa Port of Tel Aviv. The channel distinguishes itself by airing simultaneous feeds in English, French, Hebrew, and Arabic, offering distinct perspectives on global events that often bridge gaps between Western and Arab-centric media narratives. Frank Melloul served as the founding CEO until 2025, when he transitioned to Chairman and Ronit Ganon-Amit assumed leadership as Chief Executive Officer.

    The network maintains a significant operational footprint with an editorial team that includes 150 local journalists and twenty foreign correspondents stationed globally. This structure allows for real-time reporting from conflict zones and diplomatic summits alike. While specific revenue figures remain undisclosed, the organization sustains its operations through Drahi's capital and has expanded into digital streaming platforms and mobile applications available on Google Play.
