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
In the very midst of an American mediation effort, it is unclear what drove Prime Minister Netanyahu to insist on eliminating the leadership of Hamas abroad, potentially dealing a fatal blow to the normalization vision that President Trump has pursued tirelessly.
Despite precise planning and execution, it is likely that the Israeli attempt to eliminate Hamas leadership in Qatar failed. Beyond the operational miss, Israel also paid a heavy diplomatic price. Such a failure not only leaves Hamas leaders in place but also grants the organization a temporary sense of immunity.
The apparent failure of the strike in Qatar and the continuation of Operation Gideon’s Chariots have raised deep concerns among the IDF high command. Senior officials sharply criticized last week’s attack in Doha, which was carried out against the advice of most of Israel's security chiefs.
After two years of war, not only our adversaries in the world but also our friends struggle to understand where Israel is heading. And the operation in Qatar, for many, was pouring a barrel of oil on the fire that was already burning around the globe in vain.
Charlie Kirk stood as a genuine defender of the State of Israel – a passionate advocate who successfully confronted pro-Palestinian activists. Few have stood by us as powerfully. A farewell to a true friend and gifted rhetorician.
From Istanbul, Hamas' Finance Minster Zaher Jabarin managed to raise nearly a billion dollars and refine the terror organization's capabilities.
If it turns out this was a deception exercise designed to gather Hamas leaders – this wouldn't be the first time. It worked successfully in Iran too.
In the October 7 context, the publicized thanksgiving prayer of the organization's leaders, who were in Turkey at the time, is well remembered.
Qatar’s actions have been a persistent and strategic threat to Israel and Western interests. Even though the regime has placed itself in the perfect position to leverage both sides, the fact that Israel has not categorized it as a hostile state was a huge mistake, and we paid the price on October 7.
The Shin Bet security agency proposed a similar operation a year ago, but the political echelon rejected it. This time, a combination of circumstances, including intelligence, led to a different decision.
