i24NEWS French Live Stream

i24NEWS French is the French-language service of i24NEWS, the Israeli international news channel based at the Jaffa Port in Tel Aviv.

Israel's news in French

The grid runs on news editions, current-affairs programmes and live coverage of the region's events, produced in Tel Aviv and carried to a francophone audience in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada and francophone Africa. It covers Israel and the Middle East from an Israeli perspective, in French.

Why French matters

France has one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe, and French is the main language of the Maghreb, where Israel's diplomacy and its relations with Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia are followed closely. A French-language service from Tel Aviv addresses both audiences directly rather than through subtitles.

Competing in a francophone news market

France 24, TV5 Monde and the French channels of the big groups already cover the Middle East in French, and the francophone audience has its own established sources. i24NEWS works the margins of that market, and its distribution depends on cable operators and satellite platforms in Europe and Canada.

Distribution

The service streams through the channel's own platform and is carried on international platforms, reaching viewers across Europe, North America and Africa.
