- Rachlin was a prominent anchor and editor.
Veteran editor and anchor Eli Rachlin is set to leave Channel 13's news division after more than two decades with the company, as part of ongoing layoffs initiated by the network's new owner, Assaf Rappaport. Rappaport acquired the channel in recent months and has since implemented a wave of dismissals.
Rachlin, who joined the news team in 2003 and became a recognizable face, presented and edited numerous broadcasts, including "News of the Day," "The Morning World on Friday," and major news bulletins. He received the final termination notice in recent days.
However, Rachlin is contesting the decision and has filed a lawsuit with the Labor Court in an effort to halt his dismissal. This development follows the recent final approval of Rappaport and Yinnon Costika's investor group's takeover of Channel 13 by the Second Authority for Television and Radio.
Channel 13 management stated, "Channel 13 wishes to thank Eli Rachlin for the period of joint work and wishes him success in the future." Rachlin's response has not yet been received.
