Reshet 13 Media Group is a privately owned company headquartered in Israel. Founded in 2017, the company operates as an Israeli free-to-air television channel, serving as a tier 1 media tech buyer, with an estimated 280 employees. Launched on November 1, 2017, it replaced the outgoing Channel 2 as one of two new channels, providing media and TV services. Reshet 13 is owned by RGE media group and Reshet.
On September 17, 2026, the Second Authority for Television and Radio approved the transfer of ownership of Israel's Channel 13 from controlling shareholder Len Blavatnik to Wiz co-founders Assaf Rappaport and Yinon Costica. The acquisition was executed through the Merit Spread Foundation, a philanthropic nonprofit registered in both the United States and Israel. This approval, initially granted by the Second Authority Council on September 16, drew criticism from the communications minister, who deemed the decision "unlawful." Previously, on August 8, 2026, Rappaport and Costica committed to solely finance the acquisition of Reshet 13 after other investors who had been in talks for the deal ultimately decided not to participate. Earlier, on May 24, 2026, Channel 13 reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's inner circle was working to disqualify the United Arab List (Ra'am) from the upcoming election cycle, aiming to designate the Southern Faction of the Islamic Movement in Israel, the party's parent movement, as a terrorist organization.
