“We are excited to offer the international television marketplace an innovative new cooking show from Abot Hameiri that truly flips the script on the conventional unscripted series set in the kitchen,” said Dori CEO & President Nadav Palti.
Last Mipcom, Palti was one of a small number of Israeli delegates who traveled to Cannes, and he spoke to Deadline about his desire to stop Hamas from “winning” by carrying on with his “personal, professional and business life.”
