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 has learned that the mediators—Qatar, Egypt and Turkey—told Trump that Hamas would accept all the clauses of his Gaza plan and that they would ensure the negotiations move quickly to reach that outcome.
Hamas and other terrorist organizations have “responded positively” to the plan, but demanded clarifications regarding several points, including the issue of weapons and a timetable for an IDF withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Officials in Qatar, Egypt and Turkey pointed to the challenge facing Hamas in implementing a plan that requires it to surrender.
The flotilla carrying hundreds of activists, including Greta Thunberg, was blocked during Yom Kippur, with 42 vessels seized and their passengers taken to Ashdod for police questioning.
Disagreements within Hamas leadership are blocking a decision on President Trump’s peace plan, and mediators are working to break the deadlock. Their proposal: Hamas would accept the plan in principle, followed by an international conference to discuss its details.
Izz al-Din al-Haddad, head of Hamas’ military wing in Gaza, told mediators that he rejects the American ceasefire plan, declaring that they are determined to fight. Meanwhile, Egypt continues efforts to persuade Hamas to accept the proposal, with the Egyptian foreign minister acknowledging that there are still significant gaps to be addressed.
Israel's Foreign Ministry have released footage showing an IDF soldier alongside activist Greta Thunberg, stating that she and her friends are "Safe and healthy", and are being transferred to an Israeli port.
The pressure is is mounting. With President Donald Trump giving Hamas three to four days to respond, the atmosphere was tense during the mediators’ meeting with the leaders of the terrorist organization, and Egypt’s intelligence chief issued an ultimatum.
The Israeli Navy is preparing to take control of the flotilla heading toward Gaza in the coming hours, with the operation expected to last several days, according to IDF assessments.
President gives terrorist group 3-4 days. Hamas requested clarifications on when the full withdrawal from the Strip will be carried out and under what conditions.
Official Hamas document found by troops in Gaza, signed by then-terror chief Ismail Haniyeh, implicates organizers, including Zaher Birawi.
