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 notion born this week, and already gaining traction, is that the Lebanese government will somehow guarantee the security of residents in northern Israel. But there is an opening for a historic strategic shift, and it can be summed up in two words: border adjustments.
On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, "never again" demands a trial that links the Nukhba terrorists to the long-standing Palestinian plan to destroy us.
For years, Israelis were told that Hungary’s prime minister was an antisemitic tyrant, mainly as a way to attack Benjamin Netanyahu through him. His immediate and gracious concession in the election proves the exact opposite. Now, as our best friend in Europe is on his way out, Israel has real cause for concern.
The litmus test for the Pakistan talks will be whether Iran is stripped of its nuclear capabilities. Any other outcome would grant the regime dangerous immunity. At the same time, negotiations with Lebanon are at a crossroads: can Beirut break free of Hezbollah’s stranglehold?
The sense of unease accompanying the war’s impressive achievements stems from the impression that the long-awaited change in Iran was within reach, yet the ceasefire pushed it further away and helped the regime rise from the ropes. Israel must now push for two critical decisions: No easing of economic sanctions on Iran, and no restrictions on Israel’s freedom of action.
While others scrambled for relevance, Pakistan – sidelined, indebted, and overlooked – quietly positioned itself at the center of the Middle East's new order.
The ceasefire left Israel without diplomatic gains and without a response to its main threats. The gap between military success and the actual outcome heightens the risk of further escalation. At the same time, criticism is mounting over the government's conduct and its impact on Israel's standing on the international stage.
After months of boasts that the threat had been pushed back for years, Israel is ending 40 days of fighting without a decisive outcome. The very ceasefire will force it to pay a heavy price, one that could come due if the war resumes. At the same time, the question of Lebanon remains unanswered, and not a single Israeli official sees fit to provide the public with answers.
Iran’s regime believes time is working against Trump more than against itself, and therefore prefers to continue the war of attrition and pay in cash to secure gains down the road. To prevent that, Trump must take decisive steps he has so far avoided, including destroying Iran’s national infrastructure.
As Europe shrugs off the Iranian threat, the old fantasy that aggression can be contained without confrontation is proving dangerous once again.
