Lucy Aharish (Arabic: لوسي هريش; Hebrew: לוסי אהריש; born 18 September 1981) is an Israeli journalist, news anchor, television host, and actress.

[7] Later, in 2015, Aharish praised her former high school principal Meir Cohen (currently a Knesset member with the Yesh Atid party) for having fostered an uncompromising stance against racism.

[8] In the summer of 1987, a few months before she turned six years old, she was slightly injured while driving in the Gaza Strip by a Molotov cocktail thrown at her family's car by Palestinian militants.

[12] After leaving that job in 2008, owing to professional differences, she went on to report for Channel 10's Erev Tov ("Good Evening") with Guy Pines and to co-host a morning radio show with Emmanuel Rosen and Maya Bengal.

[10][13][14] In 2011, she co-hosted Channel One's late-night show, Nivheret ha-Halomot ("The Dream Team"),[15] as well as Hamahadura ("The Edition"), a current events program for teens.

[17] During this same period, the station's CEO Frank Melloul was filmed taking the Ice Bucket Challenge, the timing of which was lambasted in the French press.[18][relevant?]

In April 2015, Aharish was one of twelve Israeli personalities chosen to light torches in the official ceremony kicking off Israel's 67th Independence Day celebrations.

[19] In March 2020, Aharish started to co-host the daily edition of the television program "Culture Agent" along with Kobi Meidan on KAN 11.

[25] However, Hazan was subsequently denounced by other members of the Knesset as well as by other Israeli government officials, who congratulated the couple and wrote their colleagues off as racist.
