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
Concern is growing in Jerusalem over Iran, which aims to produce 3,000 missiles a month, as Israel weighs another strike. Disputes are also emerging over moving to the next phase in Gaza, with Israel conditioning progress on the return of its last hostage, Ran Gvili.
The operational achievements of Israel's war against Iran did not translate into a genuine strategic victory, because from the perspective of Iran’s leadership, Iran did not truly lose. This reality, combined with Iran’s understanding that another round with Israel is only a matter of time, is pushing Tehran into a conventional arms race, with a particular focus on rebuilding its missile arsenal.
Precisely when everything seems lost, in Joseph’s pit, in the rebels’ caves, or in an alienating exile, the seed of our redemption is sown. On the Hasmoneans and the difference between religious freedom and political independence, on Jonathan the forgotten hero, and on how the story of Joseph and Judah illuminates the storms of our present lives.
While Jews have historically been the first targets, we know that what begins with our community will never remain confined to it. The persistence of violence against Jews is a warning to all, and the way the world responds by calling out and taking strong measures against terrorism will determine whether hatred is allowed to spread unchecked.
Israel traded energy for leverage, binding Cairo to its gas while securing strategic calm despite unresolved violations in Sinai.
Khamenei, the elderly Iranian leader, may find himself there in the minority against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps members, eager to receive budgets to rehabilitate the nuclear program, alongside missile and terror programs.
Israel must make every effort to convince Trump that backing Israel to complete the mission serves his interests as well.
Trump's envoy Barrack was presented with data and intelligence showing Syrian President al-Sharaa could not be trusted and that the Lebanese were not sufficiently determined to disarm Hezbollah and that the IDF, therefore, needs to conduct strikes on sites where the Lebanese army cannot or does not want to operate.
The elimination of Ra'ad Sa'ad, a senior commander in Hamas' military wing in the Gaza Strip, was a necessary step for Israel. Israel's clarifications were intended to appease the Trump administration and assuage criticism from mediating countries, as it needs good reasons (or excuses) to justify such eliminations.
Across the Arab world, in China and in Russia, there is an iron fist against radical Islam. In the liberal West, violence is running rampant without restraint. Jews are paying first, but as always in history, they will not be the last.
