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
Ra'am's threat of a parliamentary strike worked. This time around, they may have gotten what they wanted due to a coalition agreement, but once such extortionate ties are established, there is no reason for things to end here.
Naftali Bennett is the first kippah-clad prime minister in Israel's history but he got there by betraying principle for position, which is why he is the most hated politician in Israel among his spurned former allies in the religious bloc.
The success of Mansour Abbas represents a catastrophe for powerful interests everywhere. It is to be expected that interested parties with the power to act will work to sabotage him at all costs.
Though in certain cases, parties have crossed the line when the other side's victory was inevitable or in a time of national crisis, Bennett is doing so when there is an absolute majority for the Right.
It's safe to assume that regardless of the Akunis appointment, negotiations with Naftali Bennett aren't finished and will continue from where they left off.
The only way to form a government and avoid a fifth election is for the prime minister to make concessions.
Yamina leader Naftali Bennett and New Hope chief Gideon Sa'ar, with 13 Knesset seats between them, somehow expect that 30 Likud lawmakers will ignore their voters and help them unseat Netanyahu. It's hard to see how their plan is more than wishful thinking.
Gideon Sa'ar's resignation from the Likud and establishment of the New Hope party have made the right-wing camp more relevant than ever, leaving the other camp out in the cold. If this situation holds, we may yet see Telem head Moshe Ya'alon abandon his alliance with Lapid and join one of the parties on the Right.
Gideon Sa'ar's departure from the Likud could strengthen Netanyahu or bring Gantz closer to the premiership, or it could catapult Naftali Bennett into the prime minister's office.
The “Ingathering of Exiles” (Kibbutz Galuyot) that captivated the imaginations and steered the dreams of Jews through millennia of persecution, expulsions and massacre is for Haskel and his colleagues merely the name of a highway junction in Tel Aviv that they send protesters to block on a semi-regular basis.
