Channa Rifkin is an i24News correspondent who transitioned from the channel’s Social Media editor to the Israeli military, then returned to work for i24News.
Polina Gareav, who works as the Germany Correspondent for i24News while also working as a “social media guru” at DW, the German broadcaster. She began her career as the News Editor for the Israeli Military magazine.
David Matlin, the host of a daily flagship show on i24News, is a former Israeli military sergeant and the regional director for Israel lobby group AIPAC.
Eyal Pinko, who was the head of intelligence in the Israeli Navy before becoming the head of division in the Israeli prime minister’s office, is another correspondent for the channel.
Daniel Tsemach, a former social media manager for the Israeli military, was also hired as a journalist by i24News.
He later became the international media manager and spokesman for the Israeli state-owned arms firm Rafeal Systems.
