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
This time Israel has to send Gaza back into the Stone Age, abducting senior Hamas officials and their families, destroying their magnificent houses, the tall buildings, the restaurants, and the promenades in Gaza.
Recent months have been particularly challenging due to various reasons. The primary cause is a sharp decline in the Palestinian Authority's ability to govern. This, in turn, prompts various actors, some terrorists and some criminals, to take action, compelling Israel to intensify its activities in the region.
In this holiday we determine how we treat the book even before we engage in studying it. I recall that time when I was ambassador in Rome, celebrating the annual completion of the Torah reading with my daughter who had stayed back in Israel.
Nuclear enrichment on Saudi soil, and an American-Israeli “defense treaty,” as part of normalization with the Saudis, are incompatible with Israeli’s National Security Strategy (NSS), especially when the agreements are likely to come at the expense of preventing Iran from dashing toward the bomb.
The accosting of worshippers on Yom Kippur in the first Hebrew city is a deeply disturbing historical milestone. In any other place this would have been an antisemitic attack.
Rather than have Saudi Arabia try to keep up with Iran by getting enrichment capabilities, Israel should hope the US acts to bring an end to Iran’s threatening capabilities.
On Yom Kippur, we are required to look courageously at the gap between who we are and who we would like to be. The book of Jonah deals with ignoring our inner voice and the consequences of denying it. Alterman and Pinocchio both explore these themes
If Israel's rejection of allowing enrichment in Saudi Arabia means the derailment of normalization deals, so be it. Israel should seek a deal that overcomes the problematic Saudi demand for an independent fuel cycle on the one hand, and minimizes the damage from the nuclear understandings with Iran on the other hand.
The window of opportunity is open until spring, so the pressure is mounting on the US and Saudi Arabia to sign the agreement before the US elections will dictate an agenda that will be impossible to receive consensus by the parties.
Rosh Hashanah makes us consider the concept of time. What does it signify and what is the deeper meaning of setting the borders between the sanctified and the profane? And is it the creation of the world or the creation of man?
