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
36 years after the genocide carried out against us by the Somali dictator, a circle has closed with the one country that did not remain silent in our darkest hour. Now Israel and Somaliland are embarking on a remarkable journey rooted in shared trauma. Two nations that rose from the ashes and refuse to be victims.
Senior security officials say the prime minister dismissed IDF and Shin Bet concerns over unfounded allegations that damaged ties with Cairo, even as hostage negotiations were undermined.
When betrayal at the top normalizes treason at the bottom, the entire security fabric unravels. This is what happens when leaders protect their cronies instead of the state.
Christians must come to terms with a difficult reality: they too are targets. The belief that terrorism is someone else’s problem, confined to Jews, Israelis, or distant conflict zones, has been shattered. Churches, Christmas markets, concerts, and holiday celebrations now sit squarely in the crosshairs of violent Islamist extremism.
Despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s denials, Iran will be the central issue in his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump, according to Israeli and American sources. At the same time, the administration was angered by a remark from Defense Minister Israel Katz about establishing Nahal outposts in the Gaza Strip, with Israeli officials privately acknowledging the comment was highly problematic.
Behind the Feldstein interview lies a troubling picture of how Israel's Prime Minister Office really operates.
The troubling stream of headlines in recent days about a renewed threat from Iran has churned the stomachs of Israelis who lived through the 12 days of Operation Rising Lion. In Israel, officials understand that Iran is a “wounded animal,” and that after the operation its motivation has not diminished but rather intensified.
The upcoming Trump-Netanyahu meeting in Florida is expected to focus on the Iranian threat and possible courses of action against the regime in Tehran. In Jerusalem, officials are seeking to set clear milestones for a joint move. The goal is to shift from coordinating positions to making concrete decisions.
US military actions in Syria and Venezuela, alongside blunt warnings on Hamas, may signal an alignment with Israel’s demand for freedom of action and regional deterrence.
The risk of miscalculation could trigger another round of fighting between Iran and Israel. While Iran is unlikely to be seeking a confrontation with Israel at this stage, it is also unwilling to return to the starting point of Operation Rising Lion. In Tehran, officials understand one thing clearly: they cannot afford to be caught by surprise again.
