i24NEWS is a 24-hour news television channel created by journalists and reporters from Israel. It broadcasts in languages such as French, English, Hebrew, and Arabic. The channel was founded by Patrick Drahi, with Frank Melloul serving as its first CEO. In 2025, Ronit Ganon-Amit was appointed CEO of i24NEWS, while Frank Melloul was promoted to Chairman. The company is based in Tel Aviv, but the broadcast network reports news from all over the world.
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. It still deploys correspondents in other locations around the world. 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. In May 2022, the channel launched its operations in Morocco with two new bureaus in Rabat and Casablanca.
In June 2024, i24NEWS launched a Hebrew language channel, the fourth channel of the network. This version is not available on conventional cable and satellite providers in Israel.
