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 aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford is heading to the Middle East to join the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is already operating in the Arabian Sea. Alongside the growing naval presence, massive air traffic of F-35, F-22 and F-16 fighter jets has been recorded, while US bases in Jordan, Qatar and across the Gulf have received significant reinforcements.
As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to meet US President Donald Trump, Israeli officials say Jerusalem’s main concern is not what Trump himself may or may not do, but rather the current influence of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. In Israel, there is hope that just as before the outbreak of the Rising Lion war the president was initially uncertain about escalation but ultimately joined in fully, the same dynamic will play out this time as well.
A sober examination of the gaps between the US and Iranian positions following last week’s talks leads to a clear conclusion: there is no agreement in sight. Iran has already declared that any attack would be considered an all-out war and would be met with strikes against US bases in the Middle East and against Israel. We know how this could begin; we do not know how it would end.
Following the return of Ran Gvili, the most complex and obstacle-filled phase of President Donald Trump’s plan to end the Gaza war is now underway. The Americans are expected to try to bypass objections from the terrorist organization and Jerusalem, while talks continue between Hamas leaders and the countries involved in the reconstruction plan.
As US military forces converge in the Middle East, this is the moment to examine who at the top of the regime in Tehran could be targeted for elimination and which strategic facilities of the Islamic Republic are potential targets for strikes.
Framework modeled on Britain's Cyprus arrangement would establish American territorial zones for defense operations. The agreement authorizes the United States to pursue military exercises, intelligence gathering, personnel training, and resource extraction – particularly rare earth minerals – across these territories minus bureaucratic impediments or licensing requirements from Copenhagen authorities.
US military preparations, warnings to allies and tense deliberations at the White House marked a dramatic 24 hours. Administration officials presented conflicting arguments about the way forward, but caution and concern over regional repercussions ultimately tipped the balance.
The Americans are pushing to move quickly toward transferring civilian control of the Gaza Strip out of the hands of Hamas. Israel could find itself facing a policing force it opposes, and more critically, Turkish and Qatari involvement in one of Gaza’s governing bodies. The reservations voiced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office are largely symbolic. Israel is expected to fall in line with the transition to Phase 2.
The uncertainty surrounding available military and non-military approaches – and their potential to achieve Trump's stated goal to "rescue" demonstrators – remains high, with significant risk of counterproductive outcomes.
The special US military operation in Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife have upended the global chessboard. What is behind Donald Trump’s interest in Greenland, the mounting tension with Colombia, and the war on drugs flowing from Mexico?
