Oshrat Kotler

Oshrat Kotler (Hebrew: אושרת קוטלר; Bulgarian: Ошрат Котлер, born 25 July 1965) is an Israeli journalist, television news presenter [1] and author.

Biography

Kotler, born Levi, comes from a Sephardi family from Bulgaria which spoke Ladino. She has written several books about her heritage.

Career

Kotler joined the Israeli News Company in 1994. She often replaced Miki Haimovich as presenter next to Jacob Eilon. In 1995, she was amongst the presenters who covered the release of the Kempler video.[2] In 2007, she moved to Arutz Eser.

In November 2017, she spoke about a meeting with Keshet CEO member Alex Giladi 23 years before.[3] Giladi invited her to have dinner and spend the rest of the evening together. At that time, she was already married. At that time, Israelis had already spoken out about sexual abuse, but this sparked the country's #MeToo movement, because it was broadcast on live TV, while Kotler was anchoring the news.
