Israel Hayom is a media organization founded on the belief that the Israeli public deserves better journalism—more balanced, more accurate, and more reliable. Journalism that speaks rather than shouts. Journalism that is trustworthy, objective, and matter-of-fact. A different kind of journalism, offered free of charge.
The first print edition was published on July 30, 2007, and in 2010 Israel Hayom became the Israeli newspaper with the highest weekday readership. The newspaper’s publisher is Dr. Miriam Adelson. Its Editor-in-Chief is Omar Lachmanovitch, and its founding editor is Amos Regev.
Israel Hayom’s Hebrew and English websites, as well as its Android and iOS applications, provide around-the-clock news coverage, exclusive content, breaking news and updates, analysis and commentary, video, podcasts, and live broadcasts.
The digital platforms of Israel Hayom include news and opinion channels covering culture and entertainment, lifestyle, technology, sports, business and consumer affairs, health, military affairs, food, Judaism, tourism, and automobiles.
In 2021, a new Hebrew-language website and mobile application were launched to provide users with a fast, up-to-date, secure, and convenient experience.
The content of the newspaper’s print edition is also available online through a daily digital edition and can be received via newsletter.
“The Israel Hayom Clique,” the publication’s exclusive benefits club, offers website users discounts and special promotions on products and services.
Israel Hayom welcomes feedback, criticism, and suggestions for improvement from its readers. You can contact the organization by email at hayom@israelhayom.co.il
The Israel Defense Forces will not discriminate against coronavirus carriers and survivors of its associated disease COVID-19, Israel Hayom has learned.
The Pentagon's new guidelines ban anyone who has been hospitalized due to the virus. According to a memo published by the Military Times, "during the screening process, a reported history of confirmed COVID-19 will be annotated 'considered disqualifying'."
The Israeli military told Israel Hayom it would not follow suit and would not consider this to be a disqualifying criterion.
Under Israeli law, almost all Jewish men and women, as well as Druze men, must serve in the military upon reaching the age of 18. The screening process, during which would-be inductees undergo various physical checkups, usually begins in 11th grade.
The new US policy is based on the assessment that the coronavirus causes long-term damage to the lungs. The Pentagon wants to avoid future complications that would hamper the draftees' military service.
