Keshet is an Israeli media company established in 1964, initially as a television station. It operates several TV channels, including Keshet 12 and YES, which offer a diverse range of programming such as drama series, comedies, and game shows. Notable productions include "The Ex," adapted into "The Ex List" in the U.S., the drama series "Hatufim," which inspired the Showtime series "Homeland," and the investigative program "Uvda," akin to 60 Minutes.

Keshet has also ventured into cinema, financing films like "Lebanon," "The Band's Visit," and "Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem." These films have gained international recognition, with some earning Golden Globe nominations. Additionally, Keshet has engaged in significant business transactions, such as Yitzhak Teshuva's acquisition of shares in the company. Their media empire continues to influence both television and film industries in Israel and beyond.
