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
Just one day after publishing the opposite response, KLM reversed course and announced on Wednesday that it will not resume its flights to Tel Aviv.
"Selecting safe and optimal flight routes is an integral part of our daily operational routine. Based on the current security situation and operational feasibility, it has been decided at this stage not to resume flights to Tel Aviv," the Dutch company stated.
"We have already resumed flight operations to additional destinations in the region, including Riyadh and Dammam (Saudi Arabia). As for Dubai, we are currently examining the possibility of resuming operations starting Friday, January 30. We continue to closely monitor developments. As soon as it is safe and responsible to do so, we will act to offer our customers flights again."
