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 stormy squalls of current events are best gauged in proper proportion when we lift our gaze to a historical perspective and offer gratitude for the miracle of our national rebirth. A few reflections for the “Ten Days of Thanks.”
We are standing at a critical crossroads: education or extinction. Those who forget the past are doomed to relive it - which is why the struggle to preserve the memory of the Holocaust is a moral imperative.
The primary lesson of the Holocaust is reiterated constantly: Jews will no longer be defenseless, they will fight to destroy their enemies. In this sense, Israel is the answer to the Holocaust. But there is a second, less-discussed lesson, no less critical: no more exile. There is no future for Jews outside their historic homeland. This is their home.
The Taiwan question is a legacy of China’s civil war. Since 1945, Taiwan has not been a foreign colony or under foreign occupation, and there is no question of people’s right to self-determination. Cross-Strait relations are between the central and local authorities, and the future of Taiwan can only be determined by the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots.
Seven years since that day, and with a certain symbolism, the judge sentenced the two men responsible for the deaths of Gali, Agam, Ilan, Ella, Shani, Yael, Maayan, Adi, Tzur and Romi to seven years in prison. Seven years that won’t bring our children back, but may restore some of the trust we lost, and affirm the basic principle that the sin of pride must be met with punishment.
Pope Francis bears significant responsibility for the rise in global antisemitism since October 7. The day after the massacre, he delivered a sermon in St. Peter's Square without mentioning a word about the barbaric crimes committed against the people of God.
At a time when Jewish communities around the world are still reeling from the trauma of October 7, the decision to give a platform to a band that glorifies terror is not just tone-deaf – it is morally indefensible.
Donald Trump’s desire to avoid a military confrontation is understandable. However, if the price is to leave both the Iranian regime and its nuclear capabilities intact, this would be a historic blunder - no less severe than the Munich Agreement. If these are indeed the final positions the US plans to adopt in the negotiations, there is real cause for serious concern.
Israel has cemented its image as an enemy seeking to destabilize and bring down the regime in Syria, even though many in Syria viewed Israel positively due to its strikes against Iran and Hezbollah.
Defeatist propagandists among us are trying to convince the Israeli public to stop the war and sign a deal. As a public service, we present Hamas' demands in the latest negotiations. The Seventh Day of Passover marks the splitting of the sea and the ultimate defeat of the enemy. We learn from our ancestors.
