Arnon Mozes

Arnon Mozes was born in 1953 in Ramat Gan

Arnon "Noni" Mozes was born in Ramat Gan in 1953, the second of four children of Noah and Paula Mozes, the owners of Yedioth Ahronoth. He attended the Nitzanim elementary school and the Ohel Shem high school. In 1967 he lost control of his father's car and fatally hit 10-year-old Rachel Shabi, and his father was sentenced to a year in prison.

He served in the IDF as a youth instructor. He then earned a bachelor's degree in economics at Tel Aviv University and studied for a year toward a master's degree at Boston University without finishing it. In those years he played basketball for Maccabi Ramat Gan and Hapoel Ramat Gan.

In his twenties he joined Yedioth Ahronoth as a sports reporter and became involved in editing. After his father died in 1985, a struggle over the paper followed, and after his mother died in 1994 he received control of it. The group later added magazines and, in 2008, the business daily Calcalist.

In 2011 he sold about 13% of his holdings in Hot to Patrick Drahi. In 2019 he acquired 34% of Yedioth Communications and became its controlling shareholder. Since 2020 he has stood trial in Case 2000 on a charge of attempting to bribe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
