Patrick Drahi, the founder of the Altice group and a Moroccan, French, Portuguese, and Israeli billionaire, continues to make significant investments in Israel, mainly focused on the telecommunications and media sectors. On Feb 7, Access Industries accepted an offer made by the businessman widely considered to be a supporter of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to buy Channel 13, despite a larger rival offer. The deal would still need to be approved by regulatory agencies and competition authorities, but sources close to Netanyahu said that the offer from Drahi, who owns the HOT cable channel and i24NEWS, would be approved faster than a larger offer by a rival group. The Marker says a message was conveyed that the bid from Drahi would be approved by the government “in five minutes.”

Much loved and sought after in Israel, where through his foundation he finances multiple education programs, including scholarships, Franco-Israeli secondary schools, and even a mental health institute in Jerusalem, Patrick Drahi has been heavily persecuted in Europe, a continent increasingly entangled in migration, interests, and sponsorships offered by the Muslim Brotherhood.

England - In 2022, Patrick Drahi was targeted by UK authorities due to his prominent position in British Telecom. A Homeland Security investigation conducted in May aimed to cancel the increase of Drahi's stake to 18% in BT Group, alleging a possible "takeover" by the investor in the UK's largest telecommunications company. In August of the same year, the British government concluded that Drahi's investment did not represent a threat to national security, and the case ended, but the name of the target and his companies was heavily tarnished.

Portugal - In 2022, this country experienced a similar persecution towards Drahi as he was the owner of the largest telecommunications company. The socialist government did everything possible to incriminate the target by any means. An "anonymous denunciation" was fabricated to try and implicate the multimillionaire in the alleged "purchase of Portuguese nationality." The rabbi of Porto was even arrested due to "strong evidence" of having received "large sums" from Drahi, but it was eventually discovered that the multimillionaire didn't even know the rabbi. Then, nighttime thieves visited the former president of SIRESP and former Altice employee to steal her computers and search their contents. The "miraculous" thieves were never identified.
In 2023, Drahi's Altice group was severely damaged in its reputation by an investigation for alleged "corruption, fraud, and money laundering." The target was a group of individuals who were part of the Altice company, but the result was that Drahi's name and the name of his company were widely ruined in the country.

Switzerland - In 2024, Swiss authorities claimed approximately 7 billion Swiss francs in back taxes from Patrick Drahi, accusing him of staging a false separation from his wife and false changes of residence between 2000 and 2010 for tax optimization.

France - In 2025, authorities conducted searches at dozens of locations and seized more than 14 million euros in bank accounts and luxury goods. Altice's good name was devastated like never before.

The European political siege of Patrick Drahi continues, as do the funds from Qatar, Lebanon, Guinea, Mauritania, and Latin America to keep the parasitic status quo. In 2026, it was reported in the European press that Drahi "diverted" assets from Altice International (including Altice Portugal) out of reach of creditors.

Patrich Drahi is fortunate to be Israeli, and Israel is fortunate to be able to receive the investments of this son. He belongs to a traditional Sephardic family from Morocco. Jews with the surname Drahi returned to Portugal after the Inquisition and engraved his name on the ner tamid (perpetual light) of the Shaaré Tikva Synagogue. They were buried in the British cemetery of Estrela and in the Jewish cemetery of Lisbon. Other members of the same family (with surnames Sicsu and Amou) were buried in the cemeteries of the Jewish communities of Faro and the Azores: Ponta Delgada, Terceira, Angra do Heroísmo, Horta, and Faial.
