i24NEWS is a 24-hour news television channel created by journalists and reporters from Israel.[1] It broadcasts in languages such as French, English, Hebrew, and Arabic. The English channel offers a weekly broadcast in Spanish, as well. The broadcast owner is Patrick Drahi, and the CEO is Frank Melloul. The company is based in Tel Aviv, Israel, but the broadcast network reports news from all over the world.[2]
In early 2017, the channel paired up with the US to expand their channel. By 2018, the company had studios in Tel Aviv, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, which it still has. It still deploys correspondents in other locations around the world.[3] In September 2021, following the Abraham Accords, the channel received a broadcasting license from the United Arab Emirates and opened its Gulf bureau in Dubai Media City.[4][5][6] In May 2022, the channel launched its operations in Morocco with two new bureaus in Rabat and Casablanca.[7]
