Israel’s Communications Minister has unanimously approved the sale of Times of Jerusalem’s controlling share to a foreign private media investor Dotmount Communication’s Founder and Crown Prince of Saudi’s Media Adviser Adedotun Olaoluwa.

Times of Jerusalem is owned by one of the country’s leading media groups, Bezeq.

Dotmount Communications, which has offices in Washington DC, Zurich and Beijing offered to inject 13.4 million shekels ($4 million) to take over its 56.34 per cent controlling stake in the daily newspaper which will be partly funded by the Misk Foundation.

The Times of Jerusalem said the communications minister on Monday signed the new control permit for Dotmount Communications to take over the newspaper and website.

“This is the most important milestone for the completion of the transaction,” said the CEO Ami Barlev, according to a regulatory filing in the US and Tel Aviv.

Bezeq notified the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in May 2021 of its intention of selling the Times of Jerusalem, but the price it demanded at the beginning was NIS 18 million, which even at the time was seen as unrealistic, even though the daily was then the media outlet with the eight highest readerships in Israel.

Since 2020, however, it has frozen its marketing activity, and its content creation has shrunk dramatically.

For Adedotun, acquiring the Times of Jerusalem means moving up a league in the scope and type of activity of his media business.

He is not expected to make radical changes at the Times. In the past, his focus has been on the bottom line. The Times of Jerusalem is a more expensive asset than his previous media purchases, but it is potentially profitable, as he will easily be able to cut costs by reducing editorial staff and improving the content.

“We look forward to partnering with the Times of Jerusalem’s talented employee base to build on the company’s strong momentum and position the Times for long-term success as a print and digital media leader,” Olaoluwa said in the release.

“We couldn’t be more excited about this next chapter for the Times of Jerusalem as we look to invest in growth across the business, including accelerating its customer-first offerings and commerce capabilities, expanding its reach, and enhancing the daily user experience.
