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 defense pact signed in Mecca by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan is accelerating the regional arms race. It pushes normalization with Riyadh further out of reach and positions Ankara as a threat on par with Iran. Israel needs to respond along two parallel axes: its existing Mediterranean alliance with Greece and Cyprus, and a new counter pact with the United Arab Emirates and India.
The booby-trapped drone in Germany showed that advances in range and precision have become new norm. To prevent the next intelligence and security failure, Israel must harness its defense-tech sector, deepen cooperation with Ukraine and build a new layer of protection.
Security officials estimate that some 400 Hamas Nukhba terrorists who took part in the massacre have yet to be killed or arrested. The pledge to hunt down every last participant in the massacre is not a bargaining chip, but a moral commitment to the families of those murdered, abducted and killed.
For Washington, there is genuine risk. Iran’s leadership may conclude that it can no longer tolerate a humiliation and launch a direct attack on Israel. That would give Israel grounds for a broad counterattack and could draw the United States into precisely the escalation Trump has sought to avoid. Tehran could also claim that Israel deliberately tried to provoke an Iranian response in order to force Washington into an all-out war.
While Zohran Mamdani won in an overwhelmingly Democratic stronghold, El-Sayed’s victory shows that hostility toward Israel among Democrats has spread to key battleground states. Israel is now a domestic US political issue, meaning Jerusalem must maintain ties with both parties.
The US must pursue a long and patient campaign aimed at bringing down the Iranian regime, while abandoning futile talks with it. Trump faces a Churchillian opportunity to make clear that he has no intention of appeasing the Iranian crocodile in the hope that it will eat him last.
Iran's survival is not accidental. It is the structural foundation of Tehran's strategy. For decades, Washington has asked the wrong question: How do we defeat Iran? Tehran, meanwhile, has been asking a fundamentally different question: How do we survive America?
During their meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump discussed the next phase of the campaign, preventing Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons and intensifying pressure on the ayatollah regime. Israeli officials say there was no pressure for withdrawals from Lebanon, Gaza or Syria. Attention now turns to how the coordination will translate into US action on the ground.
Beyond nuclear talks, Netanyahu and Trump must target Tehran's internal vulnerabilities as rising fuel prices threaten regime stability.
The prime minister will meet the US president in Washington and attend the funeral procession for Sen. Lindsey Graham. Even if he will not admit it, Netanyahu is relieved that Saturday’s massive attack on Iran was postponed. The US president will hear that Jerusalem is prepared to allow the international force into Gaza.
