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.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, a group of Haredi men were attacked at Krakow airport in Poland on their way to Israel, including Rabbi Simcha Krakowski, chairman of Beit Hatavshil (a charitable soup kitchen organization) in Bnei Brak. Police who arrived at the scene removed the attacker, who was wearing an airport employee badge.
"Go back to Israel. Not here. This is my country."
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, an airport employee harassed a visibly Jewish man at a Polish airport.
Never mind that 6 million Jews were murdered, or that, 81 years later, the lesson still hasn't been learned.
One of the passengers described the incident. "We were praying and were almost at the end, we were off to the side and weren't disturbing anyone. And then suddenly the non-Jew arrives as you see in the video, he started yelling and going wild 'no praying.' I tried to tell him we're finishing, he started yelling and going wild again. We thought maybe he's a police officer, maybe he's a local employee who can bring police – nobody wanted trouble before the flight."
The passenger said, "He screamed, 'This is Poland and not Israel, what are you doing.' He also tried to raise his hands, he pushed a young man, as you see in the video. In the end police arrived, removed him and took his details, and we hurried to catch our flight to Israel."
