Israeli Media Council Approves Sale of Channel 13 to Assaf Rappaport
The Second Authority for Television and Radio, Israel's media regulation body, has approved the sale of the Israeli television channel, Channel 13, to businessman Assaf Rappaport. The approval came after a period of review and deliberation by the council.
Channel 13, a prominent news and current affairs broadcaster in Israel, has been seeking new ownership for some time. Rappaport, a known figure in Israeli business circles, emerged as the leading candidate to acquire the station.
The sale is expected to bring new investment and potentially a new direction for Channel 13. Details regarding the financial terms of the deal and the future operational plans for the channel were not fully disclosed in the initial announcement, but the approval marks a significant step in the ownership transition.
