Israel’s Antitrust Authority approved the sale of the right-wing newspaper Makor Rishon and the NRG news website to billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s Israel Hayom company.
The owner of The Jerusalem Post said he would resume a print edition of Maariv after a Jerusalem court approved his purchase of the daily Hebrew newspaper.
With his recent acquisition of Makor Rishon, Sheldon Adelson now owns Israel’s major right-wing media outlets and two of the country’s four major newspapers.
