Ayala Hasson (born September, 1961; Hebrew: אילה חסון) is an Israeli journalist.[1] She is a television and radio presenter at the Israel Broadcasting Corporation. She spent most of her journalistic career at the Israel Broadcasting Authority, where she served as a reporter and commentator, presented HaKol Diburim ("All Talk") on Kol Israel and the Yoman ("Journal") edition on Channel One, and was the first woman to become head of the channel's news division, which she was until her departure at the end of 2015.[2][3] For several years she was a senior commentator on News 13, where she presented the editions of Shishi ("Friday") and HaMate HaMerkazi ("The Central Headquarters"), until she joined the corporation in 2023, where she broadcasts the program Sheva with Ayala Hasson ("Seven") on Kan 11 and Ha Boker Haze ("This Morning") on Thursdays on Kan 2.
Known for her investigative journalism, Hasson is responsible for exposing some of the most influential stories in Israeli politics,[4] including the scandalous Bar-On—Hebron case (1997; suggesting a conspiracy involving PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the Shas ultra-Orthodox political party for the appointment of Roni Bar-On as the office's Attorney General in an attempt to lessen the plea bargain in Arie Deri's trial),[5][6][7][8] the Shlomo Benizri story which led to his conviction, several scoops in the Harpaz affair (where she reported that Gabi Ashkenazi, Commander-in-Chief of the Israel Defense Forces, was gathering information against his rivals in the political echelon),[4][9] the indecent act of the Head of the Israel Bar Association Avi Himi,[10] hush money paid by Israel's National Library Chairman to his assistant after sexually harrassing her;[11] PM Bennett's household expenses,[12] among others. Her notable interviews include one with Vladimir Putin.[13]
Hasson has won several awards, including from the Movement for Quality Government in Israel, and was the highest-ranked journalist on Forbes Israel's list of "Most Powerful Women in Israel" in 2022.[14]
