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
As much as the enormous achievements of Operation “Midnight Hammer” are being hailed, President Trump finds it hard to believe that Iran can resume its nuclear program. It is clear that he is aiming for an agreement with Iran, in contrast to Israel’s position.
The next phase is not military but cognitive. Jerusalem defines the reality before Doha and Ankara rewrite it in Hamas’s language. If they are allowed to sit at the table, the pause will become a defeat; if they are excluded, a new order can emerge: clear victory, sovereignty without intermediaries, and deterrence that endures.
The start of the ceasefire in Gaza marks a shift in Israel’s national agenda. Developments in Iran’s nuclear program and the continued threats from the Houthis are posing major challenges for the security establishment. Still, there are signs of hope on the diplomatic front.
The Nobel Peace Prize committee will find it hard to ignore Donald Trump's accomplishments, with his acumen overshadowing even the legendary Henry Kissinger in his level of sophistication and originality.
These moments will belong first and foremost to the hostages who return and their families, but also to every Israeli who worked for their return, and to the American team that made this possible.
Erdoğan has already announced that the Turkish army will be part of the international force that will deploy in Gaza after the IDF withdrawal and that Turkey will play a role in rehabilitating the Strip.
When the home trembles, when doubt is cast upon it, its residents rush to rescue it. "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken," wrote Ecclesiastes.
Officials in Jerusalem described the second day of talks in Egypt as marked by “cautious optimism.” Once again, they are confident that images of hostages returning to their families will overshadow the national debate over the heavy price Israeli society will pay – including the troubling message it sends about the revolving doors of Israel’s prison system and the cost of future abductions.
A deal with Hamas may be a necessary evil, but anyone who agrees to release 250 mass murderers – who left behind trails of blood and bereavement, and will almost certainly kill again – has no right to speak of “total victory.” This is not a triumph. It is being blackmailed by terrorists and surrendering to their demands, even if the goal is a worthy one.
The international community cannot lose its nerve now. For the first time since October 7, the balance of power has shifted in the right direction, not through appeasement or empty rhetoric, but through unified, unwavering pressure on Hamas to lay down its weapons or face the consequences.
