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
Undoubtedly, Hamas would like to see the ceasefire as a turning point in the conflict. It believes the halting of the fire will result in the IDF losing momentum and it gradually scaling back its operations through a series of limited ceasefires and restrictive conditions until a complete halt to hostilities is achieved. Simultaneously, Israel would lose legitimacy for high-intensity warfare, the international community would increase its diplomatic effort to strike a broader arrangement, and in the meantime, Hamas would recover.
Even if Hamas honors its word, which is not guaranteed at all, five days of ceasefire is a long time. Although the IDF chief of staff says he can manage the risk, no one, including him, knows exactly what the Hamas leader has up his sleeve.
Today marks World Children’s Day. Every parent wonders if their children are getting all their basic rights: food, drink, warmth, a shower, education, love, security, a proper bed, a pleasant environment, and more. As a mother, I don't even know if my daughters are alive.
It is crucial that Hamas’ governing facilities not only be seized but also completely destroyed. Israel must destroy the Kerem Shalom and Erez border crossing, so as to make it clear there will never be a return to the situation in which Palestinians can enter Israel.
Just as in the War of Independence, we are fighting for our very existence. Many names have been given to the war. For me, the “Genesis War” is the preferred option, not only because it broke out when we finished the Torah cycle and started over from the beginning, but because the terrible events forced us to abandon many of our old conceptions and views and pick up from scratch.
It appears that the world prefers to have us play the role of victim. But as soon as we stand up and fight back, a blame mechanism is activated against Israel as the representative of the Jewish people. Thoughts on the rising antisemitism.
Kristallnacht's 85th anniversary was this week. I want to say to all our friends in Israel: These days, we sadly realize that the poison of antisemitism is also active in our country. We want a Germany where a person wearing a yarmulke has nothing to fear on our streets. This is what we will fight for. We will use the full force of the law.
The comparison between Hamas and ISIS, usually used to illustrate their monstrous behavior, also applies to how to deal with them. Namely, one has to appreciate the complexity and time such an undertaking involves.
I dread the prospect of Israel having won the war in Gaza only to lose its collective solidarity as a nation; I fear the chaos that will reign here – which will make the judicial reform protests pale in comparison.
