“…Israeli TV is a small, secluded, creative industry located in the Middle East and produced in Hebrew, a language that most of the world can neither speak nor understand. In recent decades, it has become a prominent transnational TV producer and exporter (Rubin, 2018; Sela-Sheffy, 2017; Shahaf, 2014; Harlap, 2016).
