Uri Levy
Uri Levy is the CEO of Beit Hashita, a prominent Israeli food producer. He recently appeared as a witness in the legal proceedings involving the Victory supermarket chain and its CEO, Eyal Raviv.
Uri Levy serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Beit Hashita, a well-known Israeli brand specializing in pickled products and food manufacturing. In July 2026, Levy emerged as a significant figure in the economic-legal landscape due to his testimony in the trial of Eyal Raviv, the CEO of the Victory supermarket chain. The case involves allegations regarding the nature of business negotiations and commercial arrangements between major retailers and their suppliers.
During his testimony, Levy provided an industry-perspective defense of Raviv’s conduct. He argued that the actions attributed to the Victory CEO do not constitute criminal or exceptional behavior, but rather reflect the standard, aggressive negotiation tactics common within the Israeli food industry. Levy’s involvement highlights the complex relationship between retail giants and suppliers in Israel, where the boundaries of legitimate commercial pressure are often scrutinized by regulatory and legal authorities. As a leader of a major supplier, Levy’s insights serve as a benchmark for what the industry considers 'standard practice' in the ongoing effort to define fair competition and transparent trade in the Israeli market. His testimony is a key component of the defense's strategy to normalize the interactions between retailers and manufacturers that the prosecution has characterized as problematic.
